WHO DID FAITHFUL AND HONORABLE SERVICE 

DURING THE WAR OF THE REBELLION 

THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY 

THE AUTHOR 



PREFACE. 



The writer presents this volume to the citizens of his 
native city as purely a work of love. At the close of the 
Civil War we found, that notwithstanding the loyalty and 
patriotism of our city during that eventful period, and its 
earnest and hearty support of the National Government, 
that it had not only promptly furnished all the men it was 
called upon by the State to provide, but had actually ex- 
ceeded by more than one hundred and fifty men (including 
those in the 40th New York Infantry) all demands made 
upon it, yet it had absolutely given no thought to, or made 
the slightest provision for, the preservation of the names or 
the collating of the records of those who had given of their 
time, their health, and their lives for the preservation of the 
Union and the honor and good name of the city. 

Feeling assured that but a short time would elapse before 
many of the names as well as the honorable records of the 
veterans would be lost if some effort were not made to pre- 
serve them, I began in 1869 the task of collecting the individ- 
ual records of all who went from Newburyport or served to 
its credit during the war. The work has been a long and 
continuous one, demanding more of my time and energy than 
I ever dreamed of devoting to it; and yet now that it has 
been completed, and the records placed in such permanent 
form as to insure their identity, as well as their permanency 
for the future, I am amply repaid. 

In a work involving so many details, it would be singular 
indeed if errors have not occurred, but I feel assured that 
none will be found of so serious a character that in the future

b PREFACE. 

the identity of the veteran will not be clearly established. 
The record of the individual veteran herein presented has 
been verified by the army or navy discharge papers, or the 
records of the department. In many instances the personal 
history of the soldier has been copied from the company or 
regimental descriptive book, while the list of engagements 
accredited have either been taken from the soldier's discharge 
paper or confirmed by officers of the company to which he 
belonged. 

In the records of some I have been confronted with the 
official report of "deserted;" and wliile it is exceedingly un- 
pleasant to record the fact, believing that in some instances 
it may have been an error, yet I can pursue no other course 
than to follow the records of the War Department, presuming 
that ere this the veteran would have succeeded in amending 
such a record if satisfactory evidence had been presented to 
the department that it was either unjust or incorrect. It 
will be found that in some cases our records differ from the 
"Record of the Massachusetts Volunteers," as well as from 
some of the muster-rolls on file at the adjutant-general's office 
at the State House, in the spelhng of names. In all such 
instances, the corrections made have been verified either by 
the signature of the person on the enlistment or muster-in 
rolls, or the city or family records. Where veterans re-enlisted 
under an assumed name, or in anywise changed their correct 
name, both their army and correct names are given. 

I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to all who have 
so kindly assisted in preparing this work. To the late Hon. 
William H. Iluse of the Newburyport Herald and a member 
of the city government during most of the war period, I feel 
particularly indebted for much valuable information and en- 
couragement, and for a complete file of the Herald from 18G1 
to 1865; to the late Gen. James A. Cunningham, Adjutant- 



PREFACE. 7 

General of the Commonwealth, for unusual privileges among 
the documents of his department; to Executive Secretary 
Edward F. Hamlin for free access to the valuable correspond- 
ence of Governor Andrew during the years of the war; and to 
the present Adjutant-General of the State, Gen. Samuel 
Dalton, and those connected with him in his department, for 
continued favors and kind assistance. To our worthy city 
clerk, George H, Stevens, who has for so many years be- 
friended me, I am pleased to acknowledge my obligation and 

to express my gratitude.

NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 11 

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF MAYOR DAVENPORT. 
CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. 

Clouds and darkness are hovering over this glorious Union of ours, 
and seem ahiiost ready to burst upon and dissever it. The people have 
assembled during the past week to supplicate the Almighty to stay the 
impending danger; and it is well in times like these to invoke the aid 
of a power mightier than man. It is well to appeal to the Almighty to 
avert the terrible evil of a dissolution of the Union — this splendid Union 
which excites the admiration of the world. Shall it be rent asunder? 
God forbid. Who amongst us would be willing to close their eyes for 
the last time on earth, with the thought thai, they were to meet their 
sires and grandsires, and say to them, " We have done all we could to de- 
stroy the noble work v»'hich you accomplished at so much sacrifice, with 
so much blood?" My friends, we are bound as a people, to preserve this 
Union, even at the sacrifice of our best blood. 

Let us as patriots and Christians make all reasonable appeals and 
sacrifices to the South for the purpose of perpetuating the union of these 
States. Let us not submit to the loss of a single star from any want on 
our part to do justice to the party who claim to be aggrieved. At the 
same time let us ask ourselves if we are willing to remain quiei and suffer 
the noble work which our forefathers fought for, and accomplished by 
so much toil and suffering, to be destroyed. 

RESOLUTIONS BY THE CITY GOVERNMENT IN RELATION TO THE 
APPROACHING REBELLION. 

Governor Andrew, the day after his inauguration as gov- 
ernor, ordered a salute of one hundred guns to be fired in 
Boston, and a national salute in fifteen other cities and towns 
in the Commonwealth, on January 8th, in commemoration of 
the battle of New Orleans, and in honor of the gallant conduct 
and wise forethought of Major Anderson in removing his 
command from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter in the harbor 
of Charleston, S. C. Newburyport was one of the places where 
a salute was ordered to be fired. 

Monday evening, January 7th, the following was introduced 
by Alderman Wm. H. Huse, and unanimously adopted by the 
city council. 

The mayor and aldermen having been ordered by His Excellency, 
Governor Andrew, to give the guns in their care to Capt. Nehemiah 
Flanders, for the purpose of firing a national salute on the 8th inst.,. in 
honor of the victory of General Jackson at New Orleans in 1815. and 
also in honor of the recent conduct of Major Anderson at Charleston, 
S.C, deem this a proper occasion to express their views: therefore: 



12 NEWBUBYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

Resolved, That while we would consider all the complaints made by 
the State which has voted secession, and by the other States which con- 
template secession, and while we would urge upon our senators and 
representatives in General Court to repeal the Personal Liberty Law, and 
upon our senators and representatives in Congress to propose or accept 
such just and proper compromises as shall pacify the country, we adopt 
the language of General Jackson — "The Union, It Must and Shall 
Be Preserved!" And as Newburyport in all times past has been loyal 
to government, and patriotic in the support of law, order, and liberty, 
so will she again, if the occasion calls for it, pledge fortune, life, and honor 
in behalf of the Constitution and the Union as our fathers left them. 

Resolved, That this is not a time for party or faction, and we feel 
justified in calling upon all our fellow-citizens to forget their past party 
predilections and merge in one grand Union party, where faction shall 
be forgotten in country, and self in patriotism; where all shall study 
those things that make for peace, and where those who would pluck the 
mote from their brother's eye will not forget the beam in their own eye. 

Resolved, That in token of our fealty to the LTnion, — our common 
country, — every part of which. North and South, East and West, is 
alike dear to us, and alike to be regarded and defended in their interests 
and rights, we hereby order the city messenger to hoist, upon a flag-staff 
to be erected on the City Hall, the national flag — with its thirteen 
stripes and thirty-three stars — upon every fair day until further ordered. 

General Schouler, in his History oj Massachusetts in the 
Civil War, says: 

These resolutions T believe to have been the first adopted by any city 
or town in the Commonwealth, or in any loyal State, having relation to 
the approaching rebellion. 

PREPARATION BY THE STATE MILITIA FOR ACTIVE SERVICE. 

January IQth. That the State might be prepared to fur- 
nish her quota upon any requisition made by the President 
of the United States for the maintenance of law and the 
suppression of rebellion, the Governor and Commander-in- 
Chief issued General Order No. 4, requiring the commanding 
officers of each company of volunteer militia to examine the 
rolls of his company and cause the name of each member, 
with his rank and place of residence, to be properly recorded, 
and a copy of the same to be forwarded to the office of the 
adjutant-general. Also that they forthwith discharge all men 
in their commands, who from age, physical defect, business 
or family causes, might be unable or indisposed to respond at 
once to the orders of the governor. That if any company had 



NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 13 

not the number of men allowed by law, the commanding 
officer should at once cause the vacancies to be filled, and the 
men properly drilled and uniformed, that they might be ready 
for any exigency whenever called upon. 

ACTION BY THE GUSHING GUARDS IN RELATION TO THE ABOVE 

ORDER. 

February 2d. Every member of the Gushing Guards was 
notified to meet at the armory (Saturday evening) "to hear 
the report of their treasurer, and to take action on General 
Order No. 4." 

The meeting was full and enthusiastic, many of the older 
members of the corps being in attendance. A vote was passed 
"tendering the services of the company to the Commander- 
in-Chief of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia if called upon 
to do active duty, and authorizing the armory to be opened on 
every Thursday evening until further notice." 

PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED BY LIEUT, GEORGE 
CREASEY AND ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY. 

Whereas, Agreeable to General Order No. 4, we have assembled under 
circumstances of extraordinary peril to our country, not as citizens only, 
but as citizen soldiers duly enrolled as a part of the active militia force 
of Massachusetts, subject at all times to the orders of the commander- 
in-chief under the laws of the State: — we therefore, acknowledging 
this fact, in presence of the alarming condition of our public affairs, 
whether having their origin in the real or imaginary wrongs inflicted by 
one portion of our country upon the rights and institutions of the other, 
or instituted by the treasonable designs of internal foes, feel it to be a 
duty we owe to our past history as a corps, to ourselves and kindred, 
to our city, and above all to our country, to sacrifice all party feeling and 
prejudice, and with one voice declare to our superior officers that we are 
ready at any and all times to march in defence of that Union as a nation, 
that independence as a people, for which the services of those who organ- 
ized this corps in 1778 was devoted: — therefore 

Resolved, That the commander of this company forthwith forward 
to headquarters a list of the duly enrolled members of the corps, pledg- 
ing to the commander-in-chief that Company A, 8th Regiment, will hold 
themselves ready to respond to any order coming through the regular 
channel. 

Resolved, That the commissioned officers be directed to take such 
immediate action as shall place the corps in proper condition to meet 
any emergency that may arise. 



14 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

March 2d. Capt. Nehemiah Flanders of the Gushing 
Guards having resigned his commission as captain, 1st Lieut. 
Albert W. Bartlett was elected commander. 

After the election of President Lincoln in November, 1860, 
it became manifest that the leading men of the South not only 
seriously contemplated but had fully determined to secede 
from the national government. The course pursued by their 
representative politicians confirmed the belief that they were 
secretly preparing to contend by force of arms for the estab- 
lishment of a separate government under the protection of 
which they could extend and enjoy their cherished and be- 
loved institution, — slavery. 

Massachusetts, true to the teaching of her sires, true to 
herself and to the patriotism of her sons, did not hesitate or 
falter; but few days elapsed after the inauguration of Gov- 
ernor Andrew before active measures were taken to put the 
volunteer militia, then numbering 5,593 men, and organized 
into nine regiments and three battalions of infantry; three 
battalions and eight unattached companies of riflemen; one 
battalion and five unattached companies of cavalry, — into 
active condition and ready for the field. 

As Massachusetts was foremost in. preparing to support 
and sustain the Union, so was South Carolina foremost in at- 
tempts to destroy it. The demand made upon Major Anderson 
for the surrender of Fort Sumter, April 11th, 1861, by the 
Confederate Government through General Beauregard, and his 
noble and patriotic reply, ''It is a demand with which I re- 
gret that my sense of honor and my obligations to my gov- 
ernment prevent my compliance ; " the opening fire by all 
the rebel batteries on the morning of the 12th on the fort ; 
the spirit and bravery with which the little garrison re- 
sponded ; the ineffectual attempt of the Star of the West to ren- 
der assistance ; the renewal of the bombardment on the 13th, 
the firing of hot shot by the rebels, and the burning of the 
barracks and magazine of the fort, and finally the evacuation 
by Major Anderson and his heroic command, on the after- 
noon of Sunday, April 14th, — created the most intense feeling 
among the people of the North, and was the tocsin of war. 



KBWBIJEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 15 

And as the intelligence was announced by telegraph there 
arose one common sentiment of indignation against those who 
had commenced the conflict, and a determination in the hearts 
of the loyal North to maintain the unity and the authority 
of the national government. 

The Daihj Herald of the 15th, in an article on the "im- 
pending crisis," said: 

It would have pleased us, if measures had been taken to call a Na- 
tional Convention fresh from the people to consult and act, for, as yet, 
the people have not spoken, and the sense of the nation is not known. 
After all means of peace were exhausted, we should not oppose war; 
nay, if the unity of the country demanded it, we would hail its red face 
and thundering voice with gladness. But so it could not be, and they 
have chosen to fight first. Very well, fight let it be, then, and let the 
guns of Sumter vmite us all. Lay on! let the cannon roar! let swords 
and bayonets gleam wherever the sun shall shine, and the strongest party 
shall win. Our motto is, "Our country, right or wrong," and if it can't 
be our whole country, then for that section do we go in which we live; 
and since they determine to show us that there is a government in these 
States, and the battle must be fought to its bitter end, let it be fought 
with spirit and determination. When we enter upon a war, honor and 
humanity demand that we should make it as short as possible. There 
can be no doubt that the free States, numbering two to one of all the 
South in population and having abundant wealth and credit, must con- 
quer; and the more forcibly and the more expeditiously we move, the 
better. Let Mr. Lincoln call for a hundred thousand men as soon as the 
railroads can carry them to the nearest point of action, to be followed 
by another hundred thousand, as soon as they can be mustered; and a 
third hundred thousand to stand in reserve. If we are to fight to the 
subjugation of our opponents, they will all be needed, and if we are to 
negotiate hereafter, it must be done on the drum-head. 

FIRST CALL FOR TROOPS. 

On the 15th day of April, 1861, but twenty-four hours 
after the surrender of Fort Sumter, and the day of the issuing 
of the proclamation by President Lincoln calling for 75,000 
volunteers, the active participation of Newburyport in oppos- 
ing the rebellion began. 

On that day the field and staff officers of the various regi- 
ments of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia in the vicinity 
of Boston met in council at the governor's room at the State 
House. After discussing the condition and efficiency of the 
miUtia, the movement of troops, etc., the governor proposed 



16 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

to the representative of each regiment this question: "How 
much time does your regiment require to be ready for active 
service?" The reply given by General Hinks, who at that 
time was adjutant of the 8th Regiment and its representative 
at the council, was, "The 8th Regiment will report in Boston 
to-morrow morning if ordered." To which the governor replied, 
"That is what we desire. You can order them to report at 
Faneuil Hall." 

GUSHING GUARDS ORDERED OUT. 

Late in the afternoon of the 15th, Mr. John T. Brown 
delivered to Captain Bartlett a telegraphic order from regi- 
mental headquarters, which was as follows: 

Lynn, April 15th, 1861. 
Captain Albert W. Bartlett, 
Commanding Company A. 
The 8th Regiment is ordered to march to the defence of the capital. 
Will rendezvous in Faneuil Hall to-morrow. How many men will j'ou 
muster? 

(Signed) Edward W. Hinks, Adjutant. 

This order was duplicated, and intrusted to Mr. Edward 
S. Toppan, who subsequently delivered it to Captain Bartlett, 
who notified in person the members of the company and sum- 
moned them to appear at the armory ready for duty the 
following morning. The news that the company had been 
called for by the governor created great excitement in the 
city. The call was the call of the country, and those who 
were to respond to it had but little time to arrange business 
affairs and be ready for the cars at the appointed time. Dur- 
ing the evening State Street was crowded with people, and at 
the armory all was life and activity. Most of the members 
of the Cushing Guards were mechanics — many had families 
to leave behind dependent upon their labor for support. The 
call was sudden. The question between duty to their coun- 
try and duty to their wives and children was presented. 
With some it was answered promptly, and if others delayed 
for the moment it was only to be assured that those they left 
behind should not become paupers upon the city. The city 
government was in session on that evening. Captain Bart- 



NEWBURYPORT EST THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 17 

lett with the officers of his company waited upon the mayor, 
stated the condition under which many of the members were 
placed, and urged such action as would enable the company 
to maintain its ancient reputation, and the city to preserve 
its honor. Most nobly did the city council respond. With 
but one dissenting vote this order was passed: 

As many of our citizens have been called into the militarj'- service 
of the United States, that one thousand dollars be appropriated for such 
support as their respective families may need during their absence. 

After the adoption of the order the mayor and aldermen 
visited the armory, made known the fact, and assured the 
company that when that was expended more would be appro- 
priated. 

DEPARTURE OF THE GUSHING GUARDS. 

April 16th (Tuesday). It was the purpose of Captain 
Bartlett to have left on the eight o'clock train, but as many 
of the men required more time to arrange their business 
afifairs, twelve o'clock was the time appointed. There would 
have been no difficulty in filling the company with recruits at 
any time after the receipt of the order calling them into active 
service. Many were willing and anxious to go, but Captain 
Bartlett, considering General Order No. 4, issued January 16th, 
to apply only to those who had been enrolled and returned 
as members of the company, telegraphed to the adjutant- 
general for permission to fill his company with volunteers. 
The answer came, "Come with what you have." 

At a few minutes before twelve, in the midst of a cold and 
cheerless rain storm, the small company of patriots, for such 
their promptness and determination had proved them to be, 
left the armory for the depot. The rain and sleet was falling 
fast, but bravely and firmly they marched to the music of the 
fife and drum. But few cheers were given, and hardly a word 
was spoken by the hundreds who had gathered to witness 
their departure. At twelve o'clock they left for Boston, not 
knowing or fearing the duties they might be called to perform 
for the honor and protection of the National Capitol.

Captain Bartlett sent to have twenty additional men enrolled 
for the company. Immediately the armory was opened, and 
in less than three hours all the uniforms were filled. 

INCREASED MILITARY ENTHUSIASM. DEPARTURE OF ADDITIONAL 
VOLUNTEERS FOR THE GUSHING GU.A.RDS. 

April 18th (Thursday). The Herald says: 

This was the greatest day for military enthusiasm that Newbury- 
port ever saw. We have no words to convey an impression of the deep 
feeling that pervaded, and does now pervade, the people of this com- 
munity. Little business was attended to. Men stopped from tlieir avo- 
cations and pursuits to think of the state of the country; and the more 
they thought the more their souls burned for the restoration of peace, 
harmony, and imion; and the more they determined that the govern- 
ment should be maintained in its integrity and full powers in every State 
over which the Stars and Stripes have ever waved. 

• In a lecture delivered by Chaplain Samuel J. Si)aldiiig, at City Hall, May 29th, 
1869, at the request of A. W. Bartlett, Post 49 G.A.R. of this city, entitled, " Newbury- 
port in the Rebellion," much of the material, including the names of those who were 
the flrst to leave the city on the morning of April 16th, 1861, was furnished by tli« 
writer. The list was subsequently found to be inaccurate. The names given above aro 
correct. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 19 

At eight o'clock twenty-one (21) men in charge of Capt. 
Nehemiah Flanders, and escorted by the Newburyport Brass 
Band, left for Boston to join the Gushing Guards. At ten 
o'clock others left, and at twelve between thirty and forty 
more, so that nearly seventy men must have left the city 
during the day to join the 8th Regiment. 

The Gushing Guards, as a part of the 8th Regiment, M. V. M., 
left Boston April 18th for Washington, where, after hberating 
the frigate Constitution at Annapolis, and repairing the road- 
bed and engines of the Annapolis & Elkridge R.R., they 
arrived April 26th, having opened communications between 
Washington and the North.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Mr. Charles H. Coffin com- 
menced the circulation of a paper for subscriptions to form a 
new military company and aid their families while in the 
service. So ready and willing were the citizens to subscribe, 
that in a few hours forty-two hundred dollars were raised, and 
the names of nearly fifty volunteers for the new company 
obtained. 

ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL GUAEDS, SUBSEQUENTLY 
COMPANY B, 40th new YORK INFANTRY 

(mozart) regiment. 

The second day after the departure of the Cushing Guards, 
the formation of a new company was commenced by Mr. 
Charles H. Coffin, a merchant of our city, and the then city 
marshal, James P. L. Westcott. The company was organized 
as a part of the militia of the State to be ready for active 
duty within thirty days if called for by the governor. The 
first enlistments for this company were at the armory of the 
Cushing Guards on State Street, and so desirous were the 
young men of our city to prove their patriotism and valor 
that within forty-eight hours from the first enrollment the 
company was full. 

The city government, and very many of our leading citi- 
zens, were particularly interested in its organization. Money 
was liberally subscribed, and neither time nor expense was 
spared to make it one of the best companies in the State. 



NEWBUflYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 21 

Clothing for uniforms was contributed by Boston men, former 
residents of the city, and in the Herald of April 22d was 
published the following call: 

The ladies are asking, as in the days of the Revolution, " What can 
we do for our country, for libert}', for those who are to risk their lives 
in defence of all that is dear to us? " I will tell j'ou. We want made 
this week, sixty-eight military coats and sixty-eight pairs of pants. Those 
having sewing-machines suited to heavy work, those who will contribute 
money to pay for tailoresses to oversee the work, and those who are 
willing to work under the direction of these persons, will please leave 
their names at my hou.'se, 128 High Street, or office corner of Water 
Street and Cushing's Wharf. 

(Signed) Charles H. Coffin. 

This call was promptly responded to by a large number of 
ladies, who met at the vestry of the Whitefield Church on 
State Street, where the making of uniforms and other clothing 
for the company was carried on. 



ELECTION OF OFFICERS BY THE COMPANY. 

April 25th. At a meeting of the company for the election 
of officers, and by direction of the Governor, presided over by 
Mayor George W. Jackman, Jr., James P. L. Westcott was 
elected Captain; Wilham D. Foster, 1st Lieutenant; Benjamin 
R. Knapp, 2d Lieutenant; William J. Creasey, 3d Lieutenant; 
and Robinson N. Shuff, 4th Lieutenant. 

CONTRIBUTION OF MONEY BY THE PUPILS OF THE PUTNAM 
FREE SCHOOL. 

April 27th. The pupils of the Putnam Free School hav- 
ing contributed to the company a sum of money, Captain 
Westcott addressed them the following letter: 

Armory of the Cushing Guards, 
Saturday Evening, April 27th, 1861. 
To THE Young Ladies of the Putnam Free School: 

We cheerfully and kindly acknowledge the receipt of twenty dollars, 
a donation from them to be expended for the benefit of the soldiers under 



22 NEWBTJRYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

m}' command in such a manner as may be deemed best. This donation 
is more cheerfully received, it being a part of the money raised for the 
purchase of the beautiful flag, which was the first one thrown to the 
breeze from the school-buildings in this city. That flag we have sworn 
to protect, and God helping us we will, so long as life shall last. 
In behalf of the Volunteers, 

James P. L. Westcott, Commander. 



ARMING OF THE COMPANY WITH COLT S REVOLVING RIFLES BY 

THE CITY. 

May 2d. The city council held a special meeting to take 
measures for arming the National Guards. An order intro- 
duced by Alderman Isaac Hale, Jr., was unanimously adopted 
by both branches of the city government: 

That the mayor be a committee to provide for and on account of 
the city one of Colt's revolving rifles, with sabre bayonet, for the use of 
each member of the volunteer company in this city now under the com- 
mand of Capt. James P. L. Westcott. 

May 20th. The mayor, to whom was referred the purchas- 
ing of the rifles, reported to the city council that: 

On the third day of the present month your committee went to 
Boston for the purpose of purchasing the rifles, agreeably to the order, 
first calling upon the adjutant-general of the Commonwealth, and making 
such inquiries of him relative to the use of said arms by an infantry 
company, and further, whether it would prevent said corps from being 
joined to the 8th Regiment of this State, or whether by the purchase of 
the same (one of the rifles being present and fully .examined b}'^ himself 
and many other military gentlemen) it would in any way prevent the 
company being called upon to do duty in defence of the United States 
Government. 

The answer of the adjutant-general was, that there was nothing in 
the purchasing of the rifles that would prevent their using them, or being 
joined to the 8th Regiment, except that the 8th Regiment was full, and 
he advised me by all means not to return to Newburyport without pur- 
chasmg them if I had authority so to do. 

(Since that time I understand that the company has been attached 
to the 8th Regiment, but will not be sent forward until that regiment 
has taken the oath to serve for the term of three years, which they have 
Qot yet done.) 



NEWBTJRYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 23 



THE COMPANY PRESENTED WITH BIBLES AT THE HARRIS STREET 

CHURCH. 

May 5th (Sunday). At many of the churches this after- 
noon the pastors preached eloquent and patriotic sermons. 
At the Harris Street Church, Rev. James Cruickshanks preached 
from the text "Render unto Caesar," after which he pre- 
sented each member of the National Guards with a small 
pocket Bible to be carried with them in the service. The 
church was appropriately decorated with American flags, and 
the choir sang the "Star-Spangled Banner," closing the ser- 
vices with "America." 



CAPTAIN WESTCOTT NOTIFIES THE GOVERNOR THAT THE 
COMPANY IS READY FOR DUTY. 

May 6th. The organization of the company being com- 
plete, and the rifles furnished by the city received, Captain 
Westcott addressed the governor: 



Newhuryport, May 6th, 1861. 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, 

Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Commonxoenlth of Massachusetts: 
Dear Sir, — The newly organized company of volunteers known as 
the Newburyport National Guards are a picked body of men selected 
from three hundred and thirty applicants. They have met every day 
and evening for drill for the last three weeks, having no encouragement 
other than the hope that they are to be ordered for duty within a few 
days. The company will have uniforms complete on Thursday the 9th 
inst. They are armed with Colt's revolving rifles, army size. The cir- 
cumstances of the men will not permit them much longer to remain 
without emplo3^ment. 

What encouragement can you give me that we shall be ordered soon? 
It was hoped that we should be attached to the 8th Regiment now in 
Washington, that being, as I am informed, the expressed wish and desire 
of that regiment. Please confer with the adjutant-general and forward 
as early an answer as convenient, and oblige, 
Yours, etc., 

James P. L. Westcott, 
Captain Newburyport National Guards.

REPLY OF THE GOVERNOR. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, 

Boston, May 7th, 1861. 
Capt. James P. L. Westcott, 
Newburyport National Guards : 

Sir, — Your favor of Maj' 6th is received. Are you disposed to enlist 
for three years or for the war? How soon can you go? An early an- 
swer is desired for my advice. 

Yours faithfully, 

John A. Andrew, Governor. 



CAPTAIN WESTCOTT TO GOVERNOR ANDREW. 

Newburyport, May 10th, 1861. 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, 

Governor of the Commonwenlth of Massachusetts: 

Dear Sir, — Yours under date of May 7th is just re ceived. In reply 
I have to say that when my company enlisted they were to be in service 
for one year. I understand from Mr. Stone and Colonel Coffin that they 
had an interview with you on the 8th, at which time you determined 
to attach us to the 8th Regiment now in Washington. Cannot we, being 
a part of that regiment, be ordered under the first call? I have no doubt 
that after the company arrives at Washington they will every man of 
them be willing to enlist for three years or for the war, as that ynW be 
my wish. But as they have enlisted under the first call, I should not 
desire to put the question to them at present, but am satisfied they will 
act with the Eighth, and have no doubt that should part of that regiment 
desire to return, my company would attach themselves to some other 
for the war. 

Mr. Stone will see you to-morrow and communicate with you more 
fully. We can be ready and report at Boston on Thursday morning. 
Yours truly, 

James P. L. Westcott, 
Commanding Company National Guards. 



There seems to have been a desire to attach the company 
to the 8th Regiment, and at an interview between the gov- 
ernor, Hon. Eben F. Stone, and Col. F. J. Coffin, it was deter- 
mined upon. From communications received from officers in 
the regiment it appears that the impression with them was 
that the company was to be forwarded to that command. 
May 11th, Mayor Jackman received this telegram: 



NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 25 

Washington, D.C. 
Captain Bartlett has written to you to-day. He is supplied with 
everything wanted, in lieu of his company. Equip Captain Westcott's 
company and send them forward to join the 8th Regiment immediately. 

{Signed) Geo. Creasey, Adjutant. 

Captain Bartlett, in a letter to the mayor dated May 11th, 
says: 

By a letter received to-day from an officer of the new company, I 
am informed that the State cannot at present furnish equipments for 
their company, and as they are attached to the 8th Regiment I would 
recommend that, as my command will not be of any expense to the city, 
that the city council furnish Captain Westcott's company with equip- 
ments that they may join their regiment. 

TELEGRAM FROM THE GOVERNOR, COMPANY NOT WANTED.

(Telegram.) 

Newburyport, May 13th, 1861 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew: 

Sir, — The National Guards of this city have voted to a man to 
serve three years. Ready to-morrow. Have we been attached to the 
8th Regiment? When can we go? Answer by telegraph. 

James P. L. Westcott, 
Captain National Guards. 

The Governor not replying to the above. Captain Westcott 
again telegraphed: 



26 NEWBTJRYPOKT IN THE CIVTI. WAR, 1861. 

Newburyport, May 13th, 1861. 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew: 

Sir, — I telegraphed you this morning that my company had voted 
to serve three years. Ready to march to-morrow morning. We have 
been informed that you attach us to the 8th Regiment. The men are 
crazy to go. Don't refuse their request. 

James P. L. Westcott, Captain. 

To this dispatch no reply was made. 

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM MAYOR JACKMAN, RECOMMEND- 
ING AID TO THE VOLUNTEERS. 
To THE City Council of the City of Newburyport: 

Gentlemen, — I have been repeatedly called upon for aid within 
the past two weeks by members of the two volunteer companies now in 
this city. My answer thus far has been, that I could do nothing for 
them, there being no money appropriated for that purpose, and I having 
no authority to take money from the City Treasury for any such object. 

Many of them say that it is impossible for them to subsist and at- 
tend to their drill duties without aid in some way. It is apparent to 
me that something should be done at once to relieve their immediate 
wants, at anj'^ rate until such time as thej^ shall be mustered into the 
service of the governinent, either State or National. 

I am aware that there has been a large sum of money subscribed 
by the citizens, for the equipment and support of these men and their 
families; but when and how that money is to be distributed or used, I 
do not know. I cannot, however, see the difference in supporting these 
men and their families now from that fund, or supporting their families 
after the men have gone. It is necessary in either case that they should 
have something to eat, to be paid for out of that subscription, or from 
some other source. I believe it to be merely a matter of time as to the 
use of that fund, for I am fully impressed that it will take much more 
than that sum to relieve the wants of our soldiers before this great na- 
tional question is settled. If that should be used now, the city will im- 
doubtedly have to assist them hereafter; and if the city should now 
render assistance to these families, then that fund will come in course 
and do good service. 

1 would, therefore, recommend that the city council make an appro- 
priation sufficient to allow these men, who are now enlisted in Captain 
Westcott's company, and the one which has been raised by Captain 
Remick, who are in need of the same, an allowance of three dollars per 
week in groceries, where they have a family, and to pay the board of 
those men who have no family. In both cases to continue for the space 
of thirty days from the date hereof, unless the companies should be 

called awav before that time. r, .r n . •. . i 

Respectfully submitted, 

Newburyport, Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

May 2()th, 1861 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 27 

THE CITY GOVERNMENT VOTES TO ASSIST THE VOLUNTEERS. 

May 20th. An order introduced by Alderman George J. 
George, recommending assistance to the volunteer companies 
of Captains Westcott and Remick of three dollars per week to 
those who had families, and board for those who had not, who 
were in need of such assistance, for thirty days unless sooner 
called into service, was unanimously adopted by the city 
council. 

THE NATIONAL GUARDS VISIT BOSTON. 

Newburyport, May 22d, 1861. 
To His Excellency, Governor Andrew, 
Commanckr-in-Ch ief: 
Sir, — The National Guards of this city will make a flying visit to 
l^oston to-morrow, Thursday. Will be in front of the State House at 
10.30 A.M. Would be pleased to have your Excellency review the same. 
Respectfully your obedient servant, 

James P. L. Westcott, Commander. 

The company was received by the governor and other 
military men at the appointed time. The Boston Journal, 
speaking of their visit, said: 

The National Guards of Newburyport, Capt. James P. L. Westcott, 
arrived in this city this forenoon, accompanied by the Newburyport 
Band, and numbered about seventy muskets. They made a fine appear- 
ance, and on marching up State Street they went through the movements 
of forming a hollow square and repelling cavalry in a highly creditable 
manner. 

CALL FOR THREE YEARS' TROOPS. 

Permission having been granted the State to raise six 
regiments of infantry for three years' service, the governor, 
on the 22d of May, issued General Order No. 12. This 
order stated that "all companies of the Massachusetts Vol- 
unteer Militia which may desire to volunteer to serve as part 
of the above force will make immediate application in writing 
to the commander-in-chief through the adjutant-general. 
From the companies thus applying, a sufficient number will 
be selected to form the six regiments assigned to this State." 



28 KEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVTL WAR, 1861. 

VISIT OF HON. EBEN F. STONE AND CAPTAIN WESTCOTT TO THE 

GOVERNOR. THE NATIONAL GUARDS SENT TO NEW YORK 

FOR SERVICE IN THE BROOKLYN PHALANX. 

No reply having been received to the dispatch of Captain 
Westcott to the governor dated the 13th after the promulga- 
tion of General Order No. 12, he, in company with Hon. 
Eben F. Stone, visited the governor to see if the company 
could not be received under that order. To them assurances 
were given that the company should be attached to one of 
the regiments then forming, or be sent to camp of instruction, 
within three days. Before the expiration of the time specified, 
the governor telegraphed to Captain Westcott: 

Commonwealth op Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, 

Boston, May 29th, 1861. 
Capt. J. P. L. Westcott 
of National Guards : 
If you can be at Brooklyn, N.Y., Saturday morning, you can be re- 
ceived into the Brooklyn Phalanx and go into active service immediately. 
Reply at once whether ready. 

John A. Andrew, Governor. 

To this Captain Westcott immediately replied, "Ready." 

THE GOVERNOR GRANTS PERMISSION FOR THE COMPANY TO 
LEAVE THE STATE. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, 

Boston, May 31st, 18G1. 
Capt. James P. L. Westcott, 

Commanding Company of Inft. at Newburyport in 2d Division M. V. M. : 
Sir, — The commander-in-chief hereby grants to you and your com- 
mand permission to report for active service to the commander of the 
Brooklyn Phalanx, Brooklyn, N. Y. 

A. G. Brown, Jr., 
Captain and Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief. 

DEPARTURE OF THE NATIONAL GUARDS FOR BROOKLYN, N.Y. 

The company was anxious for active duty. They had 
been organized nearly six weeks, and had devoted the entire 
time to drill and preparation under the direction of Capt. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1801. 29 

Nehemiah Flanders. They were armed with what was sup- 
posed to have been the most serviceable rifle at a cost to the 
city of three thousand six hundred dollars. The officers were 
presented with arms and equipments, and the men were each 
provided with two uniforms, one for parade and the other for 
fatigue duty. Between seven and eight thousand dollars had 
been expended by the city and the citizens to prepare the 
company for the field. 

On Friday morning, May 31st, the city was alive to see 
them depart. The armory was crowded with friends ; and 
before leaving. Rev. Randolph Campbell, who was present, 
earnestly invoked divine blessing upon the men who were to 
march in defence of the government. Dr. Henry C. Perkins 
gave them very useful advice on the manner of living and 
preserving health; and General Gushing, on being called, 
spoke eloquently in support of the Union and the govern- 
ment, urging them to stand by each other in defence of the 
Stars and Stripes, and assuring them that victory and success 
were certain to follow. Messrs. David Wood and Isaac H. 
Boardman of the committee of the Volunteer Fund promised 
the men that their families would be provided for during their 
absence. They left the city by the Eastern R.R. at 10 
A.M., amid the cheers of the thousands who had assembled 
to bid them God speed. 

The dispatch from Governor Andrew to Captain Westcott, 
dated May 29th, was prompted by the following, received by 
him from a son of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who was con- 
nected with the intended regiment. 

New Yokk, May 29th, 1861. 
Governor Andrew: 

If the Woburn, Milford, and Newbur^qjort Companies are willing, 
and can be here by Saturday morning, they can be received into the 
Brooklyn Phalanx, which is received, and will go into active service 
immediately. 

(Signed) H. B. Beecher, Brooklyn. 

The New York Courier and Enquirer of the same date says: 

The Brooklyn Phalanx will be ready. Inspection has been ordered 
by the Union Defence Committee on Saturday, when they will present a 
full complement of men. 



30 NEWBUJRYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

The National Guards with the other Massachusetts com- 
panies on their arrival in New York Saturday morning were 
received by the officers of the regiment and a committee of 
citizens, and for a time quartered at the Astor House. An 
inspection of the regiment had been ordered by the colonel to 
take place in Brooklyn at four o'clock the same afternoon ; 
and when the time arrived, the three Massachusetts companies 
were the only organizations present, excepting two skeleton 
companies, both numbering less than sixty men. A consulta- 
tion of the Massachusetts officers was held, and it was decided 
that in view of the misrepresentations made and the apparent 
condition of the regiment, the best course for them to pursue 
was to return home. The colonel, however, prevailed upon 
them to remain a short time longer, stating that the Rev. 
Henry Ward Beecher had gone to Washington, and would see 
that they were at once mustered into service. 

GOVERNOR ANDREW ORDERS THE COMPANY TO RETURN TO 
MASSACHUSETTS. 

June Sd. Governor Andrew telegraphed to Mr. Frank E. 
Howe, Agent of Massachusetts in New York: 

Brooklyn must prepare to return our three companies. We have 
incurred expense, raised hopes, and Brooklyn has cruelly misled, disap- 
pointed, and mortified us. 

Mr. Howe replied by letter, saying: 

I went immediately to Brooklyn. The first person I saw was Cap- 
tain Westcott of the Newburyport National Guards, who seemed to regret 
the tenor of the dispatch, although expressed his loyalty in strong terms, 
and willingness to return with his command at that moment. His only 
regret seemed to be that the Brooklyn people, officers and all, should be 
censured when he felt they were doing their best. I talked with the 
men under his command, all of whom seemed contented. 

The three companies returned to Boston, arriving on the 
morning of June 5th, and breakfasted at the American House, 
after which they were dismissed until twelve o'clock, when 
they were to assemble to hear the report of the officers, who 
in the meantime had reported at headquarters, where they had 
a conference with Adjutant-General Schouler and Quartermas- 



NEWBUKYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 31 

ter-General Reed. Captain Westcott stated that having been 
months in constant drill and discipline at their own expense, 
his company felt that they ought to be immediately employed. 
General Reed laid the matter before the governor, and re- 
ported that the desire of his Excellency was that the compa- 
nies return to their homes, and disband. To this Captain 
Westcott rephed that his company had been formed for ser- 
vice in defence of the government, and they did not propose 
to disband, but were determined to seek active service. It 
was finally agreed to furnish quarters and subsistence for the 
men at Fort Warren, and transportation for the officers back 
to New York that they might complete arrangements, and 
attach themselves to the Mozart Regiment then forming. 

THE NATIONAL GUARDS JOIN THE 40th NEW YORK 
INFANTRY. 

Through Captain Westcott, arrangements were perfected 
by which the three companies, with an additional company 
from Lawrence, were attached to the 40th New York Infantry 
(Mozart) Regiment. Of the National Guards the lieutenants 
and several of the men declined to again seek service out of 
the State. Their ranks were, however, recruited to the army 
standard by additions from the Wallace Guards of Amesbury. 

Before leaving the State, Captain Westcott received from 
the governor the announcement that in so doing they severed 
all connection with Massachusetts, and that the Common- 
wealth would in no wise be responsible for their action or 
welfare. 

LETTER OF GOVERNOR ANDREW TO CAPTAIN WESTCOTT. 

Boston, June 10th, 1861. 
To Capt. J. P. T,. Westcott, 

Commanding Co. M. V. M., Newhuryport: 

Sir, — You have expressed a desire in behalf of yourself and your 
command, to proceed to New York, and there join what is called the 
Mozart Regiment. In consideration of the disappointment you have 
already experienced, this Commonwealth will again transport you to 
New York at its o^^^^ expense. But in order that there may be no pos- 
sible misunderstanding, it is deemed advisable to state explicitly in this 
connection that you and your command are not ordered to duty, but 



32 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

are only permitted to do what you desire, on your own risk and respon- 
sibility as private citizens, and thus from the moment you leave Massa- 
chusetts, the Commonwealth cannot consider that it holds any further 
official connection with you by which it shall be bound to any official 
responsibility whatever for your action or welfare, although in both the 
people of Massachusetts can never cease, of course, to take a warm interest. 
With sincere good wishes 

I am very truly yours, 

John A. Andrew. 

Alderman Isaac Hale, Jr., who accompanied the Guards to 
New York, under date of June 13th telegraphed to the New- 
buryport Herald: 

Arrived at Yonlcers yesterday. The condition of the regiment ex- 
ceeds Captain Westcott's statements. They are fully furnished with 
howitzers, wagons, horses, and additional supplies. They wiU be mus- 
tered into service Friday. 

The following day Mr. Hale again telegraphed: 

YoNKERS, N.Y., June 14th, 

4 o'clock, P.M. 
Westcott's company has just been mustered into the service.

GENERAL CUSHING TENDERS HIS SERVICES TO THE GOVERNOR 
TO ACT IN ANY CAPACITY WHERE HE MAY BE NEEDED. 



Newburyport, 2.5th April, 1861. 
Sir, — I beg leave to tender m3\self to 5'ou in any capacity however 
humble, in which it may be possible for me to contribute to the public 
weal in the present critical emergency. I have no desire to survive the 
overthrow of the government of the United States. I am ready for any 
sacrifice to avert such a catastrophe, and I ask only to be permitted to 
lay down my life in the ser\'ice of the Commonwealth and of the Union. 

I am, very respectfully, 

C. Gushing. 
His Excellency, 
John A. Andrew, 

Governor of the Commonwealth. 



{Unofficial.) 

Newburyport, 2.3th April, 1861. 
Dear Sir, — I pray you not to regard the accompanying proffer in 
any light other than that of earnest solicitation on my part to discharge 
my duty to our common country. Permit me to assume that in our 
past relations, as certainly in our present ones, there has been nothing 
to forbid me to make, or you to receive, such a proffer at the present 
time. You alone are able to judge whether, in the scope of official 
duties, there is anything to assign to me to do. If there be, or not, I 
pray you to say so to me in all sincerity, in order that, having thus placed 
myself at your discretion, I may, if not needed directly by you, then 
decide according to my own judgment what to undertake. 

I am, very respectfully, 

C. Gushing. 
Governor Andrew.

REPLY OF GOVERNOR ANDREW. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, 

Boston, April 27th, 1861. 
Hon. Caleb Gushing: 

Sir, — Under the responsibilities of this hour, remitted both as a 
man and a magistrate to the solemn judgment of conscience and honor, 
I must remember only that great cause of Constitutional Liberty and 
of civilization itself, referred to the dread arbitrament of arms ; and I am 
bound to say that although our personal relations have always been 
agreeable to m}'self, and notwithstanding your many great qualities fit- 
ting you for usefulness, yet your relation to public affairs, your fre- 
quently avowed opinions touching the ideas and sentiments of Massa- 
chusetts, your intimacy of social, political, and sjonpathetic intercourse 
with the leading secessionists of the Rebel States, maintained for years, 
and never (unless at this moment) _ discontinued, forbid my finding you 
any place in the council or the camp. 

I am compelled sadly to declare that were I to accept your offer 
I should dishearten numerous good and loyal men, and tend to demor- 
alize our military service. How gladly I would have made another 
reply to your note of the 25th ult., which I had the honor to receive 
yesterday, I need not declare, nor attempt to express the painful reluc- 
tance with which this is written. 

Faithfully, your obedient serv^ant, 

John A. Andrew, Governor. 



ORGANIZATION OF THE CITY GREYS, SUBSEQUENTLY COM- 
PANY A, 17th MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. 

The city authorities having leased Essex Hall on State 
Street for the accommodation of those who might desire to 
serve their country, on the morning of April 23d a call was 
made through the Herald for the organization of a new com- 
pany. 

A number of experienced military men have urgently requested 
Capt. John E. ^Eemick, formerly of the Gushing Guards, to tender his 
services to the government in the present emergency, and unite with 
them in perfecting a corps in drill and military tactics. Captain Remick 
has consented, and an invitation is hereby extended to such able-bodied 
men as are willing to unite with such a company, to appear at Essex 
Hall this evening at 7.30 p.m., where further arrangements will be made. 
A paper may be found at the express office of David F. Brown, No. 6 
Pleasant Street, where information may be obtained. 



36 NEWBURTPORT IN THE CIV'IL WAR, 1861. 

In response to this call about twenty-five men enrolled 
themselves at the first meeting. This new organization con- 
tinued to meet forenoon, afternoon, and evening for drill, 
until its numbers had increased to seventy-two men, when an 
election of officers was ordered by the governor to take place 
Wednesday evening, May 22d, to be presided over by Major 
Ladd of Boston. At this meeting David F. Brown was elected 
Captain; Thomas W. Foster, 1st Lieutenant ; WilHam Bell, 
2d Lieutenant; Thomas W. Goodwin, 3d Lieutenant ; and 
Alfred Horton, 4th Lieutenant. 

THE COMPANY PETITION THE CITY GOVERNMENT 
FOR UNIFORMS, JUNE 3d. 

To THE Hon. George W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor, the Board of Alder- 
men, AND THE Common Council, of the City of Newbuuyport: 
The undersigned commander and subordinate ofRcers respectfullj^ 
represent that the vokmteer militia company organized and officered 
according to law, known as the "City Greys,'' have for the past four weeks 
been dihgent in perfecting themselves in drill, for the purpose of being 
ready to answer any call made upon their services by the constituted 
authorities; that they are the only organized company now in the city; 
that they have every reason to believe that their services will be called 
for, and that Newburyport has thus far furnished a small quota of com- 
panies according to her population in proportion to other towns in Essex 
Count5^ 

For the above reasons in part we respectfully petition, in behalf of 
the company, that you take measures such as your judgment ma}'' dic- 
tate, and as will sustain the reputation of the city, towards providing 
the company with such means that they will be enabled to answer anj'^ 
call made upon us for the purpose of protecting the government of our 
coimtry and the preservation of our Union.

THE STARS AND STRIPES AFLOAT IN EVERY PART OF THE CITY 

April 20th (Saturday). The patriotism of our citizens was 
to-day displayed in the flying of the national emblems and 
the decorating of stores and private dwellings. In the central 
portion of the city nearly all the business houses were deco- 
rated with the red, white, and blue. In front of the Essex 
Hall building on State Street, flags and bunting were taste- 
fully exhibited around the motto, "Our Country: Right or 
Wrong." 

AT MOULTON & TALBOT's, STATE STREET. 

In the forenoon a large and enthusiastic gathering wit- 
nessed the raising of a flag at the store of Messrs. Moulton & 
Talbot on State Street. The ceremonies were introduced by 
the playing of the national airs by the Newburyport Brass 
Band. The flag was raised by Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, D.D., 
who, after addressing the people on the importance of support- 
ing the national government, closed with solemn prayer for the 
protection of those who had gone in defense of the nation 
and its flag. Speeches were made bj'' Rev. Daniel P. Pike, 
E. H. Rollins, Rev. James N. Sykes, D. A. W. Perkins, George 
J. L. Colby, James Carey, Moody D. Cook, Philip K. Hills, 
and City Marshal James P. L. Westcott. 

AT GILLETT & CO.'s EXPRESS OFFICE, PLEASANT STREET. 

April 23d (Tuesday). Messrs. Gillett & Co. hoisted the 
national flag upon a staff in front of their express office in 
the presence of a very large gathering of people, who crowded 
the streets, windows, and roofs in the vicinity to witness the 



40 NEWBUIIYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

scene. The flag was hoisted by the Rev. J. E. Bruce, and 
was saluted with music by the Newburyport Band. Com- 
pany B of Byfield, Capt. T. Lyman Pearson, being present, 
greeted it with cheers as it was unfurled to the breeze, while 
the plaudits of the people were long and continuous. Prayer 
was offered by Rev. Mr. Bruce, in behalf of our coun- 
try, its free institutions, and the sacrifices being made for its 
preservation by the thousands who volunteered in its defense. 

AT THE BROWN HIGH SCHOOL. 

April 24.th (Wednesday). The members of the Brown 
High School located on State Street attested their patriotism 
and devotion to the cause of the Union by hoisting the Amer- 
ican flag on a staff erected near their school building. Music 
was furnished by the Newburyport Band, and speeches made 
by William H. Pearson, Sylvester Burnham, and William H. 
Bartlett, graduates from the school. General Gushing, Rich- 
ard S. Spofford, Jr., and Rev. Daniel P. Pike, made brief ad- 
dresses, expressing their love for the Union, and the support it 
should receive from all who claimed its protection. The exer- 
cises were closed by the reciting of a portion of Patrick Henry's 
great war speech, by George R. Merrill, a member of the school. 

General Gushing in his speech said that: 

He cordially participated in the present patriotic manifestation. 
Long may this glorious flag wave above our heads, the banner of vic- 
tory and the symbol of our national honor. Our dear country now in- 
deed demands the devotion of all peoj)le, for the dire calamity of civil 
war is upon us. 

He had labored hitherto for many years, earnestly and in good faith 
at least, first for the conservation of the Union, and then to avert the 
evils of fratricidal war, and of what he might have said in that relation 
he had nothing now to retract. But the day of discussion had passed, 
and that of action had arrived. He had before him the question, which 
had occurred to public men in other countries, when political convulsions 
divided friend from friend and brother from brother, and sometimes 
arrayed them against one another in hostile camp and in deadly strife. 
What in such a case is the dictate of duty? Should we retire into safe 
seclusion in a foreign coimtry, to return in better times, to wear the 
honor of freedom, like Hyde? Or should we remain to affront the perils 
of our lot, like Faukland or Vance? The latter course, if not the safer 



NEWBURYPOET IK THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 41 

one, is at any rate the more courageous one. He chose so to act. He 
was a citizen of the United States, owing allegiance to the Constitution, 
and bound by fonstitutional duty to support its government, and he 
should do so. He was a son of Massachusetts, attached to her by ties of 
birth and affection, and from which neither friend nor foe should sever 
him. He would yield to no man in faithfulness to the Union, or in zeal 
for the maintenance of the laws and the constitutional authorities of the 
Union; and to that end he stood prepared, if occasion should call for it, 
to testify his sense of public duty by entering the field again at the com- 
mand of the Commonwealth or of the Union. 



AT WILSON BROS., STRONG STREET. 

April 26th (Friday). This afternoon the city was unusu- 
ally active. Thousands assembled to pay homage to the 
"Flag of the Union," that was now looked upon by the people 
of the North with a greater reverence and respect than ever 
before. The first gathering was at the establishment of 
Messrs. Wilson, carvers, on Strong Street, where amid the 
booming of cannon and the sweet strains of music a beautiful 
life-sized statue was unveiled representing the "Daughter of 
the Regiment," above which floated the national flag. After 
the cheers with which it was greeted had died away, Rev. 
Samuel J. Spalding offered an earnest and patriotic prayer for 
the unity and safety of the republic. Speeches were made by 
Rev. Daniel P. Pike and Edward Burrill, Esq. 



AT THE FEMALE HIGH AND GRAMMAR SCHOOLS, WASHINGTON 

STREET. 

From Strong Street the multitude gathered at the school 
building, corner of Washington and Court streets, to witness 
the raising of the Star-Spangled Banner by the young ladies of 
the female High and Grammar Schools. Rev. John R. Thurs- 
ton offered prayer, after which the young ladies hoisted the 
flag, which was greeted by the singing of: 

Our flag is there! Our flag is there! 

We'll hail it with three loud huzzas. 
Our flag is there! Our flag is there! 

Behold the glorious Stripes and Stars. 



42 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

Remarks were made by Mr. William C. Todd, principal of the 
High School, George J. L. Colby, and Rev. Messrs. Fletcher, 
Pike, Muzzy, Thurston, and Cruickshanks. 

AT THE WEST MALE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. 

From Washington Street the gathering moved to the West 
Male Grammar School, located at the west end of the Mall, 
where the boys hoisted to the breeze the national emblem 
from a staff upon the top of the building. Mr. James Rous- 
seau, principal of the school, introduced as speakers, George 
J. L. Colby, Henry G. Rollins, and Rev. Messrs. Pike, Muzzy, 
Fiske, and Bruce. 

Flags were also raised at the Bromfield Grammar School, 
at the paint store of Messrs. Burrill & Blake at the head of 
Brown's Wharf, and by the butchers on the Market House, 
Market Square. 

May 2d (Thursday). The pupils of the Davenport School, 
Congress Street, and the Grammar School on School Street, 
raised the Stars and Stripes in the presence of a large gather- 
ing of friends. 

VETERAN ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION TENDER THEIR SERVICES TO 

THE CITY. 

Mmj 4th (Saturday). Messrs. Gillett & Co., through the 
Herald, informed the friends of the Gushing Guards that they 
would pack at their office and forward to the company Tues- 
day, May 7th, a box, free of expense. At once articles began to 
flow in, more than a hundred different packages, consisting 
of shirts, stockings, towels, cigars, tobacco, and many other 
useful articles, as presents from wives and children, parents 
and friends. 

May Qth (Monday). At a meeting of the city council a 
communication was received from the Veteran Artillery As- 
sociation tendering their services to the city and asking that 
the company be furnished with a stand of arms.

Lydia M. Smith in a very few hours collected one hundred 
and two dollars ($102) to be sent to the Gushing Guards as 



NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 43 

"pin money." Captain Bartlett, in a letter dated Washing- 
ton, May 13th, acknowledged its receipt, and expressed the 
gratitude of the company for their generous consideration.

W. Bartlett and his men, who so promptly shouldered their muskets to 
sustain the honor of our nation's flag — an act which thrills the heart of 
every true citizen of Newburyport ^ith pride and admiration. 

Resolved, That the mayor be authorized to notify Captain Bartlett, 
in behalf of the city, that we are ready to furnish his company with 
everything in our power that will add to their comfort or success while in 
the service of their country, and that Captain Bartlett be requested to 
inform the city through him of their wants, in accordance herewith.

May 27th (Monday). In the afternoon the subscribers to 
the Vohmteer Fund met at the Bartlett Mill counting-room.

the amount at once, and more as it should be needed, to be 
placed in the hands of Messrs. David Wood, Isaac H. Board- 
man, and Charles H. Coffin, to be appropriated at their discre- 
tion for the support of the families of those who have or may 
hereafter volunteer from this city. 



A BOX FOR THE GUSHING GUARDS. 

Through the energy of Mr. D. Clark Batchelder, a large 
and valuable box was forwarded to the Cushing Guards, en- 
camped near the Relay House, Md. By his efforts one hun- 
dred and twenty-five dollars were subscribed by the friends of 
the company, with which five regulation swords were pur- 
chased for the officers. In addition to the swords, the box 
contained a havelock for each member of the company, made 
by our patriotic ladies; sheets, pillow-cases, and blankets de- 
signed for the use of the sick; stockings, towels, handkerchiefs, 
tobacco, preserved fish and meats, and many other articles

acceptable to the soldier in the field. There was also a gold 
Union badge for Maj.-Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, a silver one 
for each of the officers of the Gushing Guards, and a plated 
one for each of the men. 

AID TO FAMILIES OF VOLUNTEERS. 

On the 23d of May, 1861, the Legislature passed a Resolve 
entitled, "An Act in aid of the famihes of volunteers and 
for other purposes," by which cities and towns were permitted 
to raise money by taxation and apply the same under the 
direction of town or city officers for the aid of the wife and 
children under sixteen years of age of any of their inhabitants 
who is a member of the volunteer militia of this State, and 
for each parent, brother or sister or child, who, at the time 
of his enlistment, was dependent on him for support. The 
Act also provided that there should be annually reimbursed 
from the State Treasury to such cities and towns a sum not 
exceeding one dollar per week for the wife, and one dollar per 
week for each child or parent of such inhabitant who at the 
time of his being called into service was dependent upon him 
for support. By section four of the Act any city or town 
was also authorized to "organize an armed police," whenever 
danger from an attack by sea was apprehended. 

June 3d (Monday). At a meeting of the city council an 
order introduced by Alderman Isaac Hale, Jr., authorized the 
mayor to "provide all assistance that may be needed by those 
families in this city who have been deprived of their means of 
support by members of the families having volunteered and 
been mustered into service in the ranks of the National Guards 
in accordance with the statutes in such cases made and pro- 
vided, and in no case to exceed the amount to be reimbursed 
by the State."

July Uh (Thursday). The anniversary of our national 
independence was ushered in with the booming of cannon, 
the ringing of bells, and an unusual display of the Stars and 
Stripes. No pubhc celebration of the day was attempted in 
the city. The people could not dispel from their minds the 
fact that we were in the midst of a civil war, and for the first 
time father, son, and brother had been called upon to battle 
for the preservation of our national existence. Towards even- 
ing several thousand people assembled on the Mall, and lis- 
tened to the reading of the Declaration of Independence by 
Mr. Hylas T. Wheeler, principal of the Putnam School, fol- 
lowed by the singing of patriotic songs, and music by the 
Newburyport Band. 

ORGANIZATION OF A PERMANENT COMMITTEE BY THE CITY GOV- 
ERNMENT FOR THE DISBURSEMENT OF AID TO THE 
FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS. 

July 8th (Monday). An order introduced by Alderman 
William H. Huse was adopted by the city council: 

That a joint special committee consisting of the mayor and alder- 
men and one councilman from each ward be appointed to disburse the 
sums of money appropriated under various orders passed by the city 
council for the relief of the wives, children, and those dependent upon 
those citizens of Newburyport engaged or who may hereafter be engaged 
in the military or naval service of the United States. In addition to 
the mayor and aldermen the committee consisted of Councilman Michael 
Wormstead, Ward 1; Ralph C. Huse, Ward 2; William A. Davis, Ward 
3; Charles M. Hodge, Ward 4; Charles A. HiUiard, Ward 5; and James 
P. McQuillen, Ward 6. 

A BOX SENT TO THE NATIONAL GUARDS AT ALEXANDRIA, VA. 

July 22d (Monday). Through the kindness of Mr. Richard 
Welch and friends of the National Guards attached to the 
40th New York (Mozart) Regiment, a large and valuable box 



50 NEW BURY PORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

containing articles of comfort and usefulness was forwarded 
to them at Alexandria, Va. The company acknowledged its 
receipt by a card published in the Herald of August 5th: 

Alexandria, Va., July 27th, 1861. 
The officers and members of the Newburyport National Guards de- 
sire through this medium to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. Job T. 
Dickens, Moses B. Wheeler, Richard Welch, John Bimtin, Charles L. 
Huse, Samuel Towle, Samuel A. Smith, Reginald Morton, Miss Harrod, 
Messrs. Gillett & Co., B. Warren Ordway, and all others whose names 
may have been unintentionally omitted, for the articles of necessity and 
luxury forwarded to them. The eagerness with which they were re- 
ceived should be seen to appreciate the thanks of the recipients, and the 
kind donors of these free-will offerings will long be remembered.

RECEPTION OF THE GUSHING GUARDS ON THEIR RETURN 
FROM THE THREE MONTHS' CAMPAIGN. 

July 18th (Thursday). At a meeting of the Veteran Ar- 
tillery Association, Benjamin R. Knapp, John B. Nelson, 
David J. Adams, John B. Goodwin, Richard Fowler, John 
Moore, William E. Currier, George W. Jackman, Jr., Philip 
K. Hills, Charles H. Coffin, John B. Prichard, and Wooster 
Smith were selected a committee to make all necessary ar- 
rangements for the reception of the Gushing Guards on their 
return from their three months' campaign in defence of the 
capital. 

THEIR ARRIVAL IN NEWBURYPORT. 

August 1st (Thursday). A telegram from Maj. Ben: Perley 
Poore of the 8th Regiment announced that the regiment had 
arrived in Boston, and that the Gushing Guards would return 
home in the afternoon. All day the people had been waiting 
and preparing for them. They left on a cold, rainy, cheerless 
day in April, few in numbers, with not a cheer to encourage 
or enliven their departure; they returned, and the firing of 
cannon, the ringing of bells, and the joyous shouts of the 
people, announced their arrival. State Street was thronged 
with people, flags were flying, and stores and residences deco- 
rated in honor of the brave men who were the first to respond 
in defense of the Constitution and the Union. 



NEWBtJRYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1801. 51 

The company reached home at 6 p.m., and were received 
at the railway-cro.ssing on State Street by the Veteran Artil- 
lery Association, Capt. John Moore, accompanied by the New- 
buryport Band. There was also a juvenile company, the 
Dodge Cadets, commanded by Master Edward W. Dodge. 
These companies, with a cavalcade of citizens, escorted the 
Guards down State Street, through Broadway, up Greene 
Street to City Hall, where dinner was provided. After dinner 
they returned to their famihes and friends, happy ^v-ith the 
reflection that they had performed their duties honestly, faith- 
fully, and fearlessly. There were sixty-six men from Xew- 
buryport in the 8th Regiment during the three months' cam- 
paign. Fifty-two of them re-entered the service. 

BECRUITING IX NEWBURYPORT DURING THE SUMMER OF 1861. 

After the departure of Captain Brown's company attached 
to the 17th Massachusetts Infantry, recruiting in our city was 
comparatively dull. Efforts were made by several who had 
seen service in the three months' campaign to organize com- 
panies, but the experience of the National Guards in being or- 
dered into service deterred many from enlisting in new or- 
ganizations.

in Newburyport in June, 1844, was to-day buried from the

East Boston at the time of his enlistment, and was but seven- 
teen years of age when he entered the service. He was with 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 53 

his regiment in the first battle of Bull Run, July 21st, and con- 
tinued in active service until the privations of camp life so 
told on his health as to oblige him to enter the hospital at 
Bladensburg, Md., where he died October 1st. 



THE CTTY WITHHOLDS STATE AID FROM THE FAMILIES OF VOL- 
UNTEERS, RESIDENTS OF NEWBURYPORT, WHO JOINED THE 
40th NEW YORK (mOZART) REGIMENT, 

As the Act of the Legislature granting aid to the families 
of volunteers applied only to the families of those who en- 
listed in the volunteer regiments of the State, and not to those 
who joined the 40th Xew York (Mozart) Regiment, the city, 
October 1st, suspended further assistance to those families.

REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR ALL SUMS PAID THE FAMILIES 

OF THOSE WHO JOINED THE MOZART REGIMENT IN 

CASE THE STATE LEGISLATURE REFUSES AN 

APPROPRIATION. 

Njswbukyport, October 14th, 1861. 
To THE Mayor, Aldermen axd Ctty Coxtncil of Xewburyport: 

Gentlemen, — The undersisned committee of the Relief Fund for 
the families of those volunteer? who have enhsted in the army of the 
United States from this city, knowing that the necessities of these fam- 
ilies require that assistance should stiU be afforded to those of the Na- 
tional Guards, so called, as well as to the others, and believing that our 
State legislature at its next session wiU pass acts pa\-ing the families of 
those companies who unfortunately joined the Mozart Regiment, the 
same as those volunteers who are enrolled in the Massachusetts regi- 
ments, now propose to the city government, that if they will continue 
to pay to the families of the National Guards such sums as they ha^-e 
done from an appropriation by the city government until last week, 
not to exceed forty-eight dollars per week, if the legislature at its next 
session does not appropriate and cause to be paid such siuns as may 
henceforth be paid to such families by the city government, that we will 
bind ourselves as a committee to refund to the city all such sums so 
paid from the funds placed under our control.

WAR MEETING AT CITY HALL.

A meeting of the citizens of Newburyport and Aacinity was advertised 
to be held at the City Hall this evening in reference to the duty of young 
men in view of the momentous questions before the country. The meeting

and impressive, and awakened in the hearts of the people a 
willingness to do and to suffer, to save for themselves and 
posterity the Union of our fathers.

NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 55 

Clannin and Goodwin the sail-makers. The forward berth 
deck accommodated eighty men, and the three cabins fur- 
nished quarters for fifteen officers. The forward berth deck 
was provided with cooking apparatus, also a medicine chest 
and library furnished by the ladies of this city. Under this 
apartment was the magazine with flooding cocks on each side 
in case of fire ; the shell room ; the sail room, Hned with zinc, 
for the spare sails; the bread room, Uned with tin, capable of 
holding six thousand pounds of bread. She was furnished 
with two horizontal engines of eighteen inch stroke and thirty 
inch cylinders, driving a screw propeller nine feet in diameter. 
In addition to the main engines there was an auxiliary engine 
of ten horse power. The boilers were of Marston's build, and 
weighed 21 tons, having 1,760 tubes 2 inches in diameter, and 
two furnaces 6^ feet in length by 3^ feet in breadth. 

The construction of the hull was under the supervision of 
R. B. Forbes, Esq., of Boston, and the machinery under the 
inspection of Clark Fisher, Engineer U.S.N. She left the 
wharf in this city Thursday, January 10th, 1862, for Charles 
town Navy Yard. When in commission in 1862, she carried 
four guns, and was attached to the South Atlantic Blockading 
Squadron, under the command of Lieut.-Com. R. W. Scott. 
In 1863 she was armed with six guns, and commanded by 
Lieut.-Com. R. W. Meade, Jr., and attached to the same squad- 
ron. In 1864 she earned seven guns, and was stationed at the 
Naval Academy, Newport. 

AID TO THE FAMILIES OF VOLUNTEERS.

39; Ward 6, 22. The amount paid per week, $325. 

RECRUITING OF THE McCLELLAN GUARDS, AND THEIR ASSIGN- 
MENT TO THE IITH MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY. 

Under Special Order No. 572, issued by the adjutant- 
general of the Commonwealth, Messrs. Henry W. Moulton, 
Luther Dame, WiUiam D. Foster, and John W. Ricker com- 



56 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 

menced about the middle of October the recruiting of a com- 
pany for three years' service to be known as the McClellan 
Guards. About sixty men were enlisted in this city, and oc- 
cupied for a time as barracks the rooms over the store No. 13 
Market Square. To complete the organization the company 
was filled up by the addition of recruits from Lynn and other 
parts of Essex County. When the recruiting for the company 
began, it was expected it would be assigned to one of the new 
regiments then being organized by the governor ; but an order 
from the War Department prohibiting the organization of any 
more new regiments caused the disbanding of many companies 
then being raised, and rendered it necessary for the governor 
to order the McClellan Guards to join the 11th Massachusetts 
Infantry then on duty on the Lower Potomac, Maryland 
shore. The company organization was not preserved. Cap- 
tain Dame, on being ordered to Company C, took with him 
less than twenty men; the remainder were assigned to other 
companies as recruits. 

ENLISTMENTS FOR GENERAL BUTLER's EXPEDITION 
TO NEW ORLEANS. 

November 12th. Adjutant George Creasey, Capt. Albert W. 
Bartlett, and Lieuts. Gamahel Hodges and George Barker, 
were authorized by the governor to recruit a company of 
infantry for three years' service, provided the required num- 
ber of men could be raised within twenty days. A recruiting 
office was opened at the armory of the Cushing Guards, and 
the following call made: 

Wanted — Strong, Able-Bodied and Intelligent Men to fill up 
a new company now being organized at the armory of the Cushing Guards 
by order of His Excellency Governor Andrew. Every man enlisting 
will receive pay and rations from the date of enlistment, and also be 
entitled to all the comforts conferred by the legislature upon Massachu- 
setts soldiers. This is the best opportunity yet offered to enlist in a 
corps with officers and men of their own acquaintance. 

At the expiration of the time specified, thirty men had been 
recruited ; but as the governor was unwilling to extend the 



NEWBTJEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1861. 57 

authority, the men were turned over to General Butler, and 
under command of Lieutenant Barker were assigned to the 
30th Massachusetts Infantry, then at Camp Chase, Lowell. 

AID FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO ENLISTED IN THE NAVY. 

Congress having refused to allow the State credit for en- 
listments in the navy, the State authorities ruled that the 
families of those men who had entered this branch of the ser- 
vice were not entitled to State aid. At a regular meeting of 
the city government November 4th, Alderman Hale introduced 
an order, "That the sum of two hundred dollars be appro- 
priated for the relief of the families of those inhabitants of 
Newburyport that may be necessitous, and who now are or 
may be engaged in the naval service of the United States dur- 
ing the present RebelHon." This order having been rejected 
by a yea and nay vote, Alderman Hale, December 2d, pre- 
sented a petition signed by Edward S. Moseley and 743 legal 
voters, asking for "an appropriation for the support of the 
families of those of our citizens who have enlisted in the 
United States Navy." This petition was referred to a joint 
special committee, consisting of Alderman Isaac Hale and 
George J. George, and Councilmen Charles M. Hodge, James 
P. McQuillen, and John J. Currier, who reported that the 
prayer of the petitioners should be granted. The report of 
the committee was accepted ; and an order introduced by 
Councilman Currier, authorizing the committee on finance to 
hire three hundred dollars, to be paid to the families of those 
enlisted in the naval service, under the direction of the Relief 
Committee, was unanimously adopted.

FROM THE MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 
STATE OF THE COUNTRY. 

The causes which have brought our beloved country into this dis- 
astrous position, it would not be proper for me at this time to discuss 
One thing is certain, it is the duty of every one in this great crisis to 
use all the means in his power to extricate the government from this, 
the worst of all wars, if we would again wish to see that prosperity which 
was so apparent a year and a half ago. We, as citizens, as patriots, as 
honest men, irrespective of all party feelings and considerations, should 
take the greatest of all documents ever written, the Constitution of the 
United States — the charter of our rights and liberties — for our guide 
and direction; the peace, prosperity, and happiness of all the inhabit- 
ants of this ever-cherished country, for our aim; and in the right spirit 
seek to preserve, strengthen, and perpetuate the best government Divine 
Providence ever gave or bestowed upon any people. We have yet to 
offer in this cause the services, voluntarily and early tendered to the 
government, of a distinguished fellow-citizen who has been long con- 
spicuous in the discharge of functions of high civil and military posi- 
tions. We trust that the government will soon be able to avail itself of 
his distinguished ability and patriotic devotion to the common cause. 

I will only add, in conclusion of this subject, my full assurance that 
I need not urge upon you continued attention to the duties devolving 
upon the city, in relation to those of our number who are now making 
new proof of the strength and power of Republican government, in vol- 
untarily bearing arms for its defence and support.

mittee. 

THE CAPTURE OF FORT DONELSON. 

February IQth (Sunday Evening). News was received by 
telegraph of the capture of Fort Donelson by the Union forces 
under General Grant. The announcement of the news caused 
the people to gather in large numbers on State Street, and 
rejoice and congratulate each other upon the brightening pros- 
pect. Monday, flags were thrown to the breeze, bells were 
rung, one hundred guns fired, and in the evening houses were 
illuminated in honor of the glorious victory. 

Washington's birthday. 

February 22d (Saturday). In accordance with the recom- 
mendation of the President, the anniversary of the birthday of 
the "Father of his Country," the immortal Washington, was 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 61 

celebrated in this city with unusual spirit. At sunrise, noon, 
and sunset the bells of the different churches were rung. Flags 
were displayed from public buildings and private dwelhngs. 
Religious services were held in the Court and Prospect Street 
Churches. At the latter place, the exercises were conducted 
by the clergymen of the city. Prayers were offered by Rev. 
Randolph Campbell, Rev. Drs. A. G. Vermilye and Leonard 
Withington. Selections from Scripture were read by Rev. Dr. 
WiUiam Horton, and Washington's Farewell Address by Rev. 
Dr. Samuel J. Spalding. The singing of "Strike the Cymbal," 
"America," Miss Hannah Gould's beautiful ode, "Who when 
darkness gathered o'er us," and the "Star-Spangled Banner," 
was under the direction of Messrs. Warren Currier and James 
W. Cheney. In the evening the residences or places of busi- 
ness of William E. Currier, Amos Noyes, Rufus G. Coffin, 
William B. Morss, Caleb C. Toppan, Charles W. Carter, Dana 
Dodge, and Rev. J. C. Fletcher were brilliantly illuminated. 

The residence of Dr. M. M. Mumford, known as the Prince 
House, attracted particular attention. Over the entrance, and 
beneath the folds of the Stars and Stripes, were the words, 
''Our Guest of 1789." It was at this house Washington re- 
mained diuring his visit to Newburyport in October, 1789. 



FAST DAY SERMON BY REV. RANDOLPH CAMPBELL. 

On Fast Day, at the Prospect Street Church, the pastor, 
Rev. Randolph Campbell, preached from the text, Isaiah xxxii. 
15-19. Subject, "The Union safe, through the gracious out- 
pouring of the Spirit, and by the hailstorm of judgment upon 
the Rebellion." The discourse was particularly adapted to 
the times, and full of patriotism and encouragement. At the 
request of many of our citizens, it was repeated April 25th. 



Newburyport, April 21st, 1862. 
Dear Sir, — BelieA'ing that there are many persons in this com- 
munity who would like to hear the discourse which, on Fast Day, you 
delivered so acceptably to your own society, we wish to ask of you the 
favor of repeating it, so that those interested may have an opportunity 
to hear. 



62 NEWBUKYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

If you should consent to comply with this request, you will please 
to name the time and place which will be most convenient to you. 

Yours respectfully, 

Eben F. Stone. Edward S. Moseley. Joshua Hale. 

Wm. Forbes. John Balch. William Thurston. 

Charles S. Swasey. A. W. Miltimore. Enoch G. Currier. 

Nathan A. Moulton. David Wood. George Greenleaf. 

Henry Frothingham. Wm. W. Caldwell. Amos Noyes. 



Essex Street, April 22d, 1862. 
Eben F. Stone, Esq. 

Dear Sir, — The note from yourself and other gentlemen, requesting 
a repetition of the discourse delivered by me to my own people last Fast 
Day, has been received. 

In the solemnity of the crisis tlu-ough which we are passing, it seems 
fitting that every citizen should hold himself in readiness to aid and en- 
courage, as he may be able, a spirit of genuine patriotism. With this 
view, I shovdd hardly be warranted in declining the request with which 
you have been pleased to honor me, though a ministry of nearly twenty- 
five years in this city may witness that I have not been anxious over- 
much, to act in any public capacity without the sphere of immediate 
parochial duty. 

The conviction only deepens in my own soul continually, that, at 
whatever sacrifice, our National Union must be preserved, and the Re- 
bellion overthrown; and that, for the accomplishment of this purpose, 
our confidence must be especially in Him who graciously styles himself 
"the Hope of Israel, and the Savior thereof in time of trouble." 

As to the place for the repetition, allow me to suggest that of its 
original delivery; and for the time, next Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock. 
Very respectfully yours, 

Randolph Campbell. 



AID TO THE FAMILIES OF PERSONS IN THE NAVY DISCONTINUED. 

May 5th. The city having been paying aid to the families 
of those who enhsted in the navy, and also to quite a large 
number who enlisted in the army, where the State would not 
reimburse, the city council, by an order introduced by Coun- 
cilman Pillsbury, discontinued such payments: "That the fam- 
ilies of volunteers in the navy (except in extreme cases, to 
be decided by vote of the Relief Committee) be stricken from 
the rolls from and after April 30th, 1862." Such payments 
amounted in all to about four hundred dollars per month.

RETREAT OF GENERAL BANKS IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY. 

THE governor's CALL FOR TROOPS, AND THE DEPARTURE 

OF THE CUSHING GUARDS. 

May 26th (Monday). An extra of the Newburyport Her- 
ald was issued this morning, to promulgate the call of Gov- 
ernor Andrew for the assembhng of the State militia, which 
read as follows: 

HERALD EXTRA! 

THE CALL TO ARMS ! 
PATRIOT SOLDIERS ! TO THE RESCUE OP THE CAPITAL. 

We publish the following telegram from Governor Andrew, calling 
upon the soldiery of the Commonwealth at once to meet on Boston Com- 
mon, prepared to rush to the defence of the capital now threatened by 
the rebels and traitors of the South, who, having defeated General Banks, 
are marching on Washington. No words of ours can add to the call of 
the governor. The men of Massachusetts, who were not backward in 
the days of our fathers' struggle for Independence, and who have never 
failed to answer the call of their country, will be minute men to-daj'. 
Massachusetts, whose men rescued the capital in 1861, shedding the first 
blood to suppress treason, will be ready to dare and do to preserve that 
capital in 1862. Citizen soldiers wiU by the first train or the first con- 
veyance, from every part of the Commonwealth, start for Boston to an- 
swer the call of the governor; and the citizens who are not soldiers, but 
who are willing to become such, will fall in to fill up the ranks. This is 
to be the most stirring day that Massachusetts has ever known; and the 
sons of Massachusetts, one and all, wiU perform their duty.

new regiments of infantry to serve for three years, Henry W. 
Moulton, Esq., commenced June 4th the recruiting of a company 
in this city for the 32d Massachusetts Infantry, at No. 42 
State Street. June 16th the recruits were taken to camp at

Newburyport company, Mr, Moulton was subsequently com- 
missioned a captain in the regiment.

tion of each city and town, which was based upon the annual 
returns made to the adjutant-general by the assessors of the 
several cities and towns of men liable to do military duty. 
The number assigned to Newburyport was one hundred and 
seventy-nine (179) men.

of this city, to enlist as volunteers from Massachusetts, for the service of 
the United States, for the term required by the United States; and that 
said bounty be paid to the order of each individual who shall so enlist, 
by the city treasurer, until otherwise ordered by the city government, 
on the presentation of the proper evidence of such enlistment, indorsed 
by the mayor; and also that a joint special committee, consisting of the 
mayor and two of this board, and four of the common council, be ap- 
pointed for the purpose of recruiting them. 

This order was unanimously adopted; and Aldermen 
Charles C. Dame and William H. Huse, and Councilmen Dana 
Dodge, Eben P. Cutter, Wilham H. Johnson, and Moses Pet- 
tingell, Jr., were appointed as the committee.

five (25) dollars was added to the bounty of seventy-five (75) 
dollars authorized by the order passed July 10th to be paid for 
a number not exceeding 179 men; also "that those enlisting 
under any recruiting officer except those designated by the 
mayor shall not be entitled to relief from the State fund 
until such time as they shall be recognized by the governor 
of the Commonwealth as the quota called for from Newbury- 
port."

men between the ages of 17 and 50 years (who pass the regular examina- 
tion) as soon as they shall be sworn into the service of the United States,

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE WAR. 

The generous action of the city government was nobly 
responded to by the young men of the city. Wednesday, 
August 6th, was the most exciting and eventful day seen at the 
recruiting offices during the war. At the Ward Room, City 
Hall, where Captain Bartlett was recruiting, crowds of loyal, 
patriotic, and earnest men were gathered, earnestly discussing 
the necessities of the country: while the boys, who had caught 
the spirit of the occasion, paraded the streets with music and 
banners. During the day one hundred and fifteen (115) of our 
citizens had enrolled their names for three years. 

August 7th (Thursday). "The enthusiasm of the people, 
the continued excitement at the recruiting offices, and the 
readiness to volunteer, made it certain that the quota cf 
Newburyport for three years' men would be filled to-day. 
Through the energy and patriotism of Mr. Dana Dodge, the 
services of the Salem Brass Band were secured, and on their 
arrival in the city a procession was formed, and the recruits, 
with a large number of our citizens, paraded the principal 
streets. 

"At the City Hall the enlistment roll was rapidly filled; and 
long before sunset forty-nine (49) additional names had been 
added to the list, making a total of one hundred and sixty- 
four (164) enlistments in two days, which, with the fifteen (15) 
previously enlisted and ' mustered in,' made the full comple- 
ment of one hundred and seventy-nine (179) men."

officers selected, they left for Camp Stanton, Lynnfield.

THE TWO HUXDRED DOLLARS BOITN'TY PAID BY THE 

CITY TO APPLY TO ALL WHO EXLI3TED UNDER 

GENERAL ORDER NO. 26. 

That those who were the first to respond to the call of the 
city to fill the quota of 179 men, and received but one himdred 
dollars bounty, might be made equal ^\-ith those who subse- 
quently enlisted and received two hundred dollars, the city 
council, at a meeting held August 11th, adopted an order intro- 
duced by Councilman Eben P. Cutter: 

That to aU persons who have enlisted and been sworn into the ser- 
^•ice of the United States as a part of the quota of Xewbur\-port under 
General Order X'o. 26, since the eleventh day of July last and pre^^ous 
to August fifth and now in the service, and who by so enlisting have 
received from the city but SIOO. they be paid by the city treasurer, on 
the order of the mayor, the additional sum of $100. 



76 NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

As all the three years' men recruited by the city under 
the call of July 1st, and sent to Camp Stanton, Lynnfield, were 
not accepted by the government, and the time during which 
the bounty of $200 was to be paid by the city having expired, 
the city council, August 11th, adopted an order presented by 
Alderman Charles C. Dame: 

That the time named in the order of the city council passed August 
5th, 1862, whereby the bounty of $200 to volunteers was limited to those 
who should enlist until the 11th day of August inst., shall be and is hereby 
extended, so as to embrace all three years' men volunteers from this 
city who have enlisted or shall enlist before a draft shall be ordered upon 
this city, unless the quota of 179 three years' volimteers from this city 
shaU be previously filled. 

POSTPONEMENT OF THE DRAFT FOR NINE MONTHS* MEN 
ORDERED FOR AUGUST 15th. 

By direction of the President, the draft for 300,000 militia 
to serve for nine months, called for August 4th. was deferred 
until Monday the first day of September, between the hours 
of 8 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 5 p.m. 



THE CITY OFFERS A BOUNTY OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR 
NINE months' MEN. 

After the departure for Camp Stanton of those who en- 
listed for three years, and their acceptance by the United 
States government, the city commenced the filling of its 
quota for nine months' men. 

August 8th (Friday). At a meeting of the city govern- 
ment an order introduced by Councilman Joseph G. Gerrish 
was adopted: 

That a bounty of one himdred dollars for a number not exceeding 
the number required by the order for a new draft of able-bodied men 
between the ages of seventeen and fifty years to enlist as volunteers on 
the quota of Newburyport for the term of nine months, in the army of 
the United States, the said sum of one hundred dollars to be paid to the 
order of each individual who shall so enlist, by the treasurer of the city, 
until otherwise ordered by the city government, on presentation to him 
of the proper evidence of such enlistment, indorsed by the mayor. 



NEWBURYPORT IK THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 77 

August 21st the city government increased the bounty for 
nine months' men to S200. 

PATRIOTIC APPEAL BY HON. EBEN F. STONE. 

August 9th (Saturday). In the Newburyport Herald of this 
date, Hon. Eben F. Stone published the following patriotic 
card announcing his determination to enlist, and calling upon 
others to come forward and join the army of the Union. 

NEVER OR NOW. 

Felloio-citizens, — By the command of the President, the order has 
been issued for the immediate draft of three hundred thousand of the 
miUtia of the State, to serve for the term of nine months. 

Will you wait to be actually drafted, or will you volvmtarily respond 
with alacrity to the summons? 

The crisis is upon us. Delay is ruin. The blast of war blows in 
our ears, and indecision at this solemn juncture is cowardly and disrepu- 
table. 

The subscriber has resolved to go. He invites his fellow-citizens to 
join him. Come, put aside the claims of business and the charms of 
pleasant homes, and give your entire energies to the service of your 
country. The occasion demands it. Let every true man put on the 
armor of battle, and, if need be, lay down his life in the crisis. No sac- 
rifice can be too great for the preservation of that Union which is the 
last best hope of Republican Liberty in the civilized world. 

(Signed) Eben F. Stone. 

RECRUITING OF A COMPANY OF NINE MONTHS' VOLUNTEERS BY 
HON. EBEN F. STONE. 

After appealing to his fellow-citizens to respond to the 
President, Mr. Stone immediately commenced the recruiting 
of a company, and in the Herald of August 11th called for 
volunteers. 

The subscriber, with the consent and permission of the mayor, will 
open a recruiting office for nine months' volimteers, this day, August 11, 
in the store formerly occupied by Moulton & Talbot, comer of State and 
Pleasant streets. Let every man that can do a soldier's duty come 
and enlist immediately. The crisis admits of no delay. 

(Signed) Eben F. Stone. 

Under the following order, the company known as Com- 
pany B, 48th Regiment M. V. M., was recruited by Hon. Eben 
F. Stone: 



78 NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18G2. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Headquarters, Boston, August 13th, 1862. 
Special Order No. 620. 

The mayor and aldermen of Newburyport are hereby authorized to 
raise a volunteer militia company. The mayor and aldermen will cause 
the enclosed enlistment roll to be returned to this office as soon as filled. 
The utmost promptness is requisite. By command of His Excellency, 
John A. Andrew, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. 

William Brown, A. A. General. 

In addition to the recruiting office opened by Hon. Eben 
F. Stone, three others were authorized by the mayor, — one 
at the Ward Room, City Hall, one at the city marshal's office, 
Market Square, and one at the store, corner of State and 
Pleasant streets. 

Col. Frederick J. Coffin, having offered the services of the 
8th Regiment under the call for nine months' men, issued the 
following order: 

Headquarters, 8th Regiment, Fourth Brigade, 
Second Division, M. V. M. 
Newburypori, August 15th, 1862. 
Regimental Order No. 4. 

The colonel informs the regiment that after consultation with the 
field and line officers, he waited upon His Excellency the Governor and 
Commander-in-Chief, and reported the 8th Regiment ready for service. 

His Excellency inquired if the ranks of the regiment were full, and 
stated that he could not accept the services of any regiment unless it 
was recruited to the United States standard. 

This will render it necessary for commanders of companies to re- 
cruit without delay. The regiment is now fuller than it was when it 
was mustered into the service in April, 1861, or when it responded to 
His Excellency's order in May last, but officers and men have been, and 
are almost daily being, enlisted from it to fill the three years' regiments, 
and active exertions will be necessary to raise every company to the 
regulation standard. There is, however, a known desire on the part of 
many citizens of Essex County to rally around the flag of the old Eighth, 
and it is believed there will be no lack of* recruits. Let the regiment 
appear at encampment with fuU ranks, and you may hope to again be 
permitted to march to the defence of the Union. 

The high encomiums paid to the regiment in different communica- 
tions addressed to it by His Excellency the Governor, during its term 
of service in 1861, encourage a belief that he will again order it into the 
field, so soon as it is recruited to the number which it appears now ob- 
ligatory for a regiment to bear on its rolls, before it can be accepted. 



NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 79 

Commanders of companies will make weekly reports of the number of 
men on their rolls, and will without delay promulgate this order to their 
respective commands. The assurance that the regiments will be ac- 
cepted for nine months' ser\'ice and placed in camp, if recruited in sea- 
son, has been received from the commander-in-chief this afternoon. 
By command of Col. Frederick J. Coffin. 

Edward L. Noves, Adjutant. 

Active measures were immediately taken to recruit the 
Gushing Guards to the maximum standard required by the 
government. The armory was open every evening for drill 
and the enrollment of new members. 

At a meeting of some of the citizens to consider the best 
method of raising the quota of nine months' men, and to 
stimulate enlistments, a committee, consisting of Hon. George 
W. Jackman, Jr., David Wood, Robert Bayley, WilHam Gushing, 
WilHam H. Swasey, and Gharles H. Goffin, was appointed, to 
arrange for a series of meetings to be held in the afternoon on 
the mall and in the evening at Gity Hall on Tuesday, Wednes- 
day, and Thursday, August 19th, 20th, and 21st. The com- 
mittee announced that distinguished speakers would address 
the citizens upon the present national crisis; that the Salem 
Band would be present at each meeting, and that the bells of 
the city would ring one half-hour to notify the citizens and 
in\dte them to be present. 

August 12th (Tuesday). A large and enthusiastic war 
meeting was held at the Gity Hall in the evening. Alderman 
George J. George called the meeting to order, and introduced 
Ex-Alderman Philip K. Hills as president. Eloquent ad- 
dresses were made by Hon. Eben F. Stone, Rev. Daniel P. 
Pike, Mr. Galvin M. Woodward, Principal of the Brown High 
School, Gapt. Henry W. Moulton, Henry G. Rollins, Esq., 
William H. P. Plummer, a recruit for three years. Rev. Sam- 
uel J. Spalding, D.D., and Rev. Randolph Gampbell. A re- 
cruiting paper was circulated, and quite a number of names 
secured for the companies organizing for nine months' ser- 
\ace. 

August 19th (Tuesday). The first of the series of war 
meetings arranged by the committee of citizens was held on 
the mall during the afternoon. A large platform had been 



80 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

erected opposite the Putnam School for the accommodation of 
the speakers, the invited guests, and the band. At half-past 
three, as announced, the bells of the city began to ring to 
notify the citizens and invite their presence. The attendance 
was large and enthusiastic. Capt. David Wood called the 
meeting to order, and, after stating the object in calling the 
citizens together, announced Ex-Alderman Philip K. Hills as 
chairman, and Mr. John James Currier as secretary. Mr. Hills 
appealed earnestly to the young men of the city to respond to 
the call of the President and fill the quota of the city. Rev. 
James N. Sykes of the Congress Street Church, William H. 
Huse, Esq., of the Newburyport Herald, Mr, Edmund C. 
Pearson, a recruit, Dr. Hubbard of Boston, and Pev. Randolph 
Campbell, addressed the meeting. The meeting at the City 
Hall in the evening was very large, hundreds going away un- 
able to gain admission. Mayor George W. Jackman, Jr., pre- 
siding, introduced William L. G. Green, Esq., Mr. Calvin M. 
Woodward, George Burns, Esq., of Boston, and Hon. William 
D. Northend of Salem. 

August 20ih (Wednesday). The second war meeting, or 
third of the series, was held on the mall in the afternoon, Mr. 
Wilham Thurston presiding. Addresses were made by Ralph 
C, Huse, Jr., Edgar C. Rundlett, and Edmund C. Pearson, all re- 
cruits who had enlisted under the last call for troops; also by 
Wilham H. Pearson and Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, D.D. The 
City Hall in the evening was packed with an appreciative 
audience, who listened to Professor Patterson of Dartmouth 
College, Rev. Mr. Van Meter of New York, Mr. George C. Spurr 
of Boston, and Lieutenant A. P. Pierce, U.S.A. 

August 2lst (Thursday). At the third war meeting on the 
mall the attendance was large. George J. L. Colby, Esq., 
presided. Hon. John B. Alley of Lynn, member of Congress 
from this district, Hon. A. A. Abbott of Dan vers, Capt. John 
W. Mahan of the 9th Massachusetts Infantry, and Henry G. 
Rollins, Esq., one of the recent volunteers, addressed the as- 
sembly, and urged the young men of the city to enlist and 
fill the quota. 

At the City Hall in the evening the gathering was more 
enthusiastic and patriotic than any that had preceded it. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 81 

Hon. Alexander H. Bullock, Rev. Elias Nason, and Hon. John 
B. Alley, spoke eloquently and earnestly in support of the 
President and the National Government. Great excitement 
prevailed. Volunteer after volunteer signed the enUstment 
roll, and urged others to do the same. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Headquarters, Boston, August 21st, 1862. 
General Order No. 38. 

Whereas, The provisions of the statutes of this Commonwealth are 
defective for the purpose of carrying into effect the draft of miUtia under 
the order of the President of the United States, bearing date August 4th, 
1862, It is therefore ordered. 

First, That the quota of a draft of three hundred thousand militia, 
to be called into the service of the United States to serve for the period 
of nine months, unless sooner discharged, which the State of Massachu- 
setts has been required to furnish, to wit, nineteen thousand and eighty 
men, be raised by a draft, which will be conducted in conformity with 
the regulations of the War Department of the United States contained 
in General Order No. 99 of said Department, bearing date August 9th, 
1862, a copy of which is pubUshed with, and as a part of, the present 
order (marked A). 

Second, It is further ordered, That the assessors of the several towns 
and cities use all possible dispatch in completing and returning the new 
enrollment in the manner heretofore ordered, which is in no respect 
modified by this order. 

Third, And that the selectmen of the several towns, and mayors 
and aldermen of the several cities, immediately return to the office of 
the adjutant-general a sworn statement of the names and number of 
their inhabitants who have heretofore been mustered into the service 
of the United States, whose stipulated term of service has not expired, 
with the companies and regiments into which they have been enlisted. 
This return is directed in order that the draft may be equalized as far 
as possible, and the towns and cities which have heretofore furnished 
more men than their just proportion may have due allowance for the 
same in the draft. 

Fourth, Commissioners to superintend drafting in each county will 
be forthwith appointed, and surgeons to determine claims of exemption 
on account of disability. These officers will receive minute instructions 
from the commander-in-chief as to the mode of executing their respec- 
tive duties. 

Fifth, Copies of the enrollment list for each town and city will be 
kept in the office of the town or city clerk for inspection. The copies to 
be returned to the adjutant-general will be filed with the sheriff of the 
several counties for two days previous to the commencement of drafting 
in any city or town. 



82 NEWBUEYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

Sixth, The commissioners and surgeons will themselves appoint 
times and places for receiving and determining claims for exemption, 
conformably to the regulations of the War Department, and all exemp- 
tions must be then and there claimed and determined, and not after- 
wards; but all exemptions known to the commissioners to exist, wll be 
allowed, whether claimed or not. 

Seventh, After all not liable to draft have been stricken from the 
list in any town or city by the commissioner, he will at once report the 
number remaining thereon to the adjutant-general, who will proceed to 
fix the exact quota of said town or city, and under the commissioner to 
make a draft for the same in the manner prescribed in the regulations of 
the War Department. 

Eighth, Rendezvous and commandants of the same will be season- 
ably appointed. 

Ninth, The drafting will commence in accordance with the order of 
the War Department, dated August 4th, 1862, which is herewith published 
as a part of this ordei (marked B). 

Tenth, The instructions relating to enrollment promulgated through 
the State Department are herewith republished for the information of all. 
Eleventh, Although every arrangement will be made as speedily as 
possible to execute this draft, — and the same will be promptly and 
rigidly carried out in any place which fails to furnish volunteers to the 
number of its quota of militia, — yet the municipal authorities and citi- 
zens of Massachusetts are earnestly exhorted to fui-nish at once the req- 
uisite number of volunteers in order to avoid wherever possible, and if 
possible everywhere, any necessity for drafting. 

To this end the adjutant-general will at once publish for the infor- 
mation of the people an approximate estimate of the number of men due 
from each place, although an accurate statement cannot be made until 
the enrollment is completed, and the names of all not liable to draft 
have been stricken out. To prevent all misunderstanding, notice is given 
that all companies of volunteer militia which do not volunteer will be 
disbanded before the exemptions are arranged upon the enrollment lists. 
This course is rendered necessary because otherwise the members of the 
volunteer companies would be exempt from draft. 

The commander-in-chief has never for a moment doubted that the 
patriotism of the people of Massachusetts, already illustrated by so much 
devotedness to the cause of their country from the beginning of the 
present struggle, would voluntarily furnish all the support of means and 
of men which the exigencies of the service and their duty may require. 
Nor does he believe it now doubtful that volunteers for the quota re- 
quired will be enlisted as rapidly as the means can be accumulated for 
their care, equipment, and organization. But, as from the first it has 
been the purpose and duty of the State Government to obey all lawful 
orders emanating from the President and the Department of War, so 
now it is the purpose of the Governor of Massachusetts faithfully to 
pursue the directions he may receive in this behalf. And he relies on 



NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 83 

the unshrinking courage, the loyal patriotism, and the ancient manly 
character of the people of Massachusetts for all the support and encour- 
agement which may be needed in the future. 

By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor and 
Commander-in-Cliief. 

William Schouler, Adjutant-General. 

August 22d (Friday). The 35th Regiment Massachusetts 
Infantry, to which Capt. A. W. Bartlett's company was at- 
tached, left camp at Lynnfield for Washington. This regi- 
ment was assigned to the second brigade, second division, of 
the Ninth Army Corps, commanded by Major-Gen. Ambrose 
E. Burnside, and was attached to the Army of the Potomac. 
The regiment remained in that Army Corps until the close of 
the war. 

August 23d (Saturday). The company recruited by Hon. 
Eben F. Stone, accompanied by the Salem Brass Band, paraded 
the city. This company, at a meeting held in Essex Hall, 
August 28th, elected the following officers: Captain, Eben F. 
Stone; 1st Lieutenant, Calvin M.Woodward; 2d Lieutenant, 
Charles P. Morrison. Upon the organization of the 48th Regi- 
ment, M. V. M., to which the company was attached, Captain 
Stone was elected and commissioned colonel, 1st Lieutenant 
Woodward was elected captain, and Ira F. Laury to fill the 
vacancy of 1st Lieutenant. 

August 25th (Monday). In the board of aldermen a com- 
mittee was estabhshed consisting of Aldermen George J. George, 
Charles C. Dame, and Winthrop O. Evans, to carry into effect 
all orders embodied in General Order No. 38, by the com- 
mander-in-chief of the Commonwealth. 

August 29th (Friday). The following resolution was unan- 
imously adopted by the board of aldermen: 

Resolved, That the city council have learned with regret of the de- 
cease of John Black, late volunteer from this city in the 11th Regiment 
Massachusetts Infantry. That from respect to his memory, the city 
council attend his funeral at his late residence to-morrow afternoon, 
and that the mayor, Alderman Charles C. Dame, Col. Frederick J. Coffin, 
Capt. Robert Bayley, and Capt. David Wood, be a committee of arrange- 
ments for the same. 



84 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

August 30th (Saturday). The first military funeral held in 
the city during the war was that of John Black, who enlisted 
at Newburyport, Nov. 18th, 1861, in Company C, 11th Regi- 
ment Massachusetts Infantry, and after participating in the 
Peninsular campaign under General McClellan, taking part in 
the siege of Yorktown, the battles of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, 
Glendale and Malvern Hill, he was discharged for disability, 
August 15th. Returning to his home, he survived but a few 
days, dying August 29th. 

The services at his late home were conducted by Rev. O. 
S. Butler, after which a procession was formed under the es- 
cort of the Veteran Artillery Association, Capt. John Burrill, 
consisting of the city government, the Gushing Guards, and 
the newly organized company commanded by Capt. Eben F. 
Stone. The remains were conducted to the new burial ground, 
where other exercises were held, consisting of prayer by Rev. 
O. S. Butler, and speaking by Rev. Randolph Campbell, after 
which the remains were deposited in their last resting-place. 

In response to section third of General Order No. 38, 
issued by the governor on the 21st day of August last, the 
mayor and aldermen reported to the adjutant-general, August

This report, because of its being an official document, 
made in response to an order from the adjutant-general's 
office, and because of its having been used in a tabulated 
statement by the adjutant-general in his report for 1862, to 
show the number of men which Newburyport had furnished 
for three years, may at some remote period be regarded as 
accurate and reliable. It is, however, a very imperfect docu- 
ment, and must have been made from memory, not from care- 
fully prepared records in possession of the city. Many cor- 
rections have been made in the original report by the author, 
which appear against the names in parentheses ( ). 

The General Order referred to, called for "a sworn state- 
ment of the number and names of the inhabitants who have 
heretofore been mustered into the service of the United States, 
whose specified term of service has not expired," etc. 

In arranging the names alphabetically, it was discovered 
that several soldiers were reported as being in two organiza- 
tions; and by referring to the individual records of those 
whose names are embraced in the report, it was ascertained 
that one hundred and fourteen men had either been killed in 
action, died of wounds or disease, or been discharged for dis- 
abihty, previous to the date of the report; while the names of 
a large number of volunteers who were at the time serving in 
both the army and navy had been omitted, notably Capt. 
George Creasey, and at that time Lieut. George Barker of the 
30th Massachusetts Infantry, Benjamin Houston, Patrick Wall, 
and John Lockery of the 11th Massachusetts Infantry, and 
Albert Richardson, Paul A. Perkins, James Finn, and John 
McKnight of the 17th Massachusetts Infantry, while Daniel D. 
Aubin, Alvin Armitage, Jacob W. Cram, Charles L. Flem-y, 
George W. Greenough, Joseph C. Pettingell, Henry C. Rich, 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 93 

and about fifty others, who were serving in the United States 
Navy, with a much larger number in the army, were not in- 
ckided in the report. 

It is not strange that the errors noted should have found 
their way into this return. Evidently there was but little or 
no effort made by the city officers to keep a record of the en- 
listments or of the service of the soldiers and sailors who 
went from the city during the war. Indeed, aside from the 
books of record of the city council, there is practically noth- 
ing relating to the work done by the city during those event- 
ful years. Not a copy of a single report or of an official letter 
is on file; while nothing can be found in the treasurer's office 
relating in the remotest degree to the large amount of money 
paid by the city for bounties, or for aid to the famihes of 
volunteers. The importance of preserving such a record seems 
not to have been considered. 

September Isi (Monday). In board of aldermen, the mayor 
was authorized to draw his order for such a sum of money " as 
shall be sufficient to defray the expenses of the funeral of 
John Black, late a volunteer in the army of the United States, 
also that the city continue the payment of State aid to the 
family for one year from the date of his decease, or until 
otherwise ordered by the city council." 

By General Order No. 43, from the adjutant-general's 
office, dated Sept. 1st, 1862, it was ordered: That exemptions 
claimed for disability must be certified to by a surgeon ap- 
pointed by the governor for that purpose. Among those ap- 
pointed for Essex County was Henry C. Perkins, M. D., of 
Newburyport. 

The news of the second battle of Bull Run and the need 
of hospital supplies at Washington, D. C, was announced in 
the various churches on Sunday. 

Septeviher \st (Monday). Under the direction of the Sol- 
diers' Aid Association, nearly four hundred ladies were em- 
ployed at City Hall in preparing lint and bandages for the 
army. On Tuesday the hall was crowded with ladies engaged 
in the same patriotic work. At ten a.m. two boxes were for- 
warded, and before night four others followed, all containing 
hospital stores for the sick and wounded. 



94 NEWBUEYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

September Uh (Thursday). An order was adopted by the 
city council 

Appropriating such sums of money as may be necessary for the 
temporary relief of the famiUes of those volunteers who are now engaged 
in the army of the United States, and those heretofore engaged in said 
service and deceased, also those who may be hereafter so engaged. 

A letter from the adjutant-general's office, dated Boston, 
September 10th, informed the mayor and aldermen, "That the 
secretary of war had not given permission to credit the men 
in the naval service of the United States in making the quota 
of nine months' men." Without giving such credits, the 
quota of Newburyport was one hundred and fifty-six (156) 
men. 

September 10th (Wednesday). The company recruited and 
commanded by Capt. Eben F. Stone left the city for ''Camp 
Lander" at Wenham, where it was mustered into the United 
States service September 16th. It remained until the organiza- 
tion of the 48th Regiment was completed, when it was removed 
with the regiment to "Camp Meigs," Boxford, Mass,

The 8th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry (railitia), was 
in every respect an Essex County organization. It was or- 
ganized in 1855, and constituted a part of the State mihtia at 
the breaking out of the war. It served in the three months' 
campaign in 1861, and was again recruited, for nine months' 
service, at Camp Stanton, Boxford, and Camp F. W. Lander, 
Wenham, Mass. On Nov. 25th, 1862, the regiment left the 
State for North Carolina, where it arrived on the 30th. Pro- 
ceeding to New Berne, it was assigned to the second brigade, 
first division, commanded by Col. Thomas G. Stephenson of 
the 24th Massachusetts Infantry. Companies A of Newbury- 
port and E of Beverly were detached from the regiment, and 
assigned to garrison duty at Roanoke Island. On June 28th, 
1863, the regiment was ordered to Massachusetts to be mus- 
tered out, but on the 30th was sent to Baltimore, and assigned 
to a brigade commanded by Brigadier-General Briggs. July 7th 
it marched to Maryland Heights, and on the 13th joined the 
Army of the Potomac at Funkstown, and was assigned to the 
second division. First Army Corps, where it remained until 
July 26th, when it was ordered home. On July 29th the regi- 
ment returned to Massachusetts, and was mustered out Aug. 
7th, 1863. ^^^

September IQth (Tuesday). At a meeting of the city council 

A bounty of $200 was authorized to be paid to each of those volun- 
teers who, as citizens of Newburyport, have been or may be mustered 
into the service of the United States previous to the first day of October 
next, in the companies commanded by Capt. Eben F. Stone and Capt. 
Stephen D. Gardiner for the term of nine months. 

At a meeting of the city council on the 18th, the words "Citi- 
zens of Newburyport," as expressed above, were defined as 
residents of Newburyport. 

September 21st (Sunday). Mayor George W. Jackman, Jr., 
to-day received the following dispatch from Baltimore, Md. : 

Shall leave for home this afternoon with the body of Capt. A. W. 

Bartlett. 

(Signed) George W. Creasey. 

September 22d (Tuesday). At a special meeting of the 
city government, called for the purpose of arranging suitable 
funeral honors to the memory of Captain Bartlett, as the 
commander of the first Newburyport company to leave for 
the war, and the first commissioned officer from the city killed 
in action, a joint special committee, consisting of Aldermen 
Nathaniel Pierce and William H. Huse, and Councilmen 
Charles 0. Morse, Joseph G. Gerrish, and Daniel A. W. Per- 
kins, reported the following: 

Resolved, That the city council of Newburyport has learned with 
deep regret of the decease of Albert W. Bartlett, late captain of Company 
B of the 35th ]\Iassachusetts Regiment, who has fallen in the late battle 
near Maryland Heights. 

Resolved, That by this sad event the country has lost a true patriot, 
the city a useful and enterprising citizen, our militia a most zealous, 
brave, and efficient officer, and the community one who, in all the rela- 
tions of life, was a most gentlemanly and honorable man. 

Resolved, That the bravery and patriotism of Captain Bartlett were 
equally displayed in the battle in which he fell, and when as captain of 
Company A of the gallant Eighth, with but eighteen men, he reported 
himself ready to march in the defense of the capital; and though it is 
appropriate for a brave man to die leading his comrades on to victory, 
yet we cannot but regret that his bravery and services in the cause of 
the right should be lost to his country. 

Resolved, That we tender our sympathy to his family and friends 
in this their sad hour of bereavement, mitigated only by the reflection 
that he died an honorable and heroic death. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 101 

Resolved, That the city clerk transmit a copj^ of these resolutions 
to the family of the deceased, and that they be entered on the records 
of the city. 

A general committee was appointed to arrange for the 
funeral ceremonies, and Aldermen George J. George and 
Winthrop O. Evans, and Councilmen Jacob G. Brown, Ralph 
C. Huse, and William P. Plummer, were appointed to receive 
the body on its arrival in Boston, and accompany it to New- 
buryport. 

On the arrival of the remains in Newburyport they were 
taken to the family residence on Winter Street, where thej^ 
remained until noon, when they were conducted to the City 
Hall, and guarded by a detachment from the Veteran Artil- 
lery Association until the hour of exercises at the Pleasant 
Street Church. 

The following account of the funeral of Captain Bartlett is 
taken from the Newburyport Herald: 

Capt. Albert W. Bartlett was buried under arms on Tuesday after- 
noon. The order as announced was, in the main, observed in the ob- 
sequies of the fallen soldier. It was as follows:

The remains were received by the nine o'clock train from Boston, 
and placed in the City Hall. From thence, at the appointed time, they 
were conveyed to the Pleasant Street Church, where exercises highly 
appropriate, solemn, and touching were listened to by as many as could 
gain admission, — a much larger number leaving in disappointment for 
want of accommodation. 

The addresses by Drs. Vermilye and Spalding, which followed the 
opening prayer and reading of the Scriptures, were brief but pertinent; 
neither the virtues of the deceased, nor the noble example he had set 
before the world, were forgotten. He had started at the first call of his 
country, when as yet there was little excitement and the sympathies 
of the public had not been stirred. The capital, it was announced, was 
in danger, and it was enough; and gathering a patriotic company by 
indi\ddual effort, he at once reported himself -Rdth his comrades ready 
for any duty the exigency might require. So it had been again, and 
yet again; and now having been brought into conflict ■wdth the enemy 
in the hardest fought field, and in the hardest fought battle of that field, 
he had fallen, yielding up his life for his country and her blood-bought 
institutions. We could but be sad, and mourn the loss of a true soldier 
and a warm-hearted patriot. We could but condole with the bereaved 
friends, weeping wife and fatherless child, father and mother, brother 
and sister. Still, the dark cloud had a silver lining: there was in the 
deep gloom much to rejoice over and quicken to duty. The only com- 
missioned officer who had gone from Newburyport, fallen in battle and 
been brought home for burial, we lamented; but his life was a noble 
sacrifice, and it was freely offered, and so it would be regarded. What- 
ever the wants of the nation might be, whatever the requisitions upon 
her citizens, they would be responded to; and it was such unconquer- 
able purpose, such dauntless courage, such lofty patriotism as the deceased 
had evinced, that would secure such a result hereafter. But it was more 
than the death of a single individual we deprecated. Others had met

the same fate; and many had been wounded, and might soon be reported 
bej^ond the reach of hope. We were, however, to maintain our firmness 
and be confident to the last. 

The closing exercises at the church was a dirge by Hall's Boston 
Brass Band, which seemed a fitting finale when we remember that the 
brave man breathed out his expiring breath while yet "martial sounds" 
fell upon his ear, drowning the groans of the dying comrades, and ren- 
dering his last moments peaceful and exultant. 

The body was deposited in Oak Hill Cemetery, with military honors. 
After it had been placed in its last home, a dirge was played, three vol- 
leys were fired, friends gazed once more upon the receptacle of "the 
dear dust," and then passed away to scenes which when animate it had 
filled with life and joy. Whether we speak of what occurred at the grave, 
in the church, or in reference to the general arrangements for the fu- 
neral, we may say all was done that affection could ask, or the purest 
patriotism merit. Business was generally suspended, the schools closed, 
stores dressed in mourning, flags of the shipping and at other points 
placed at half-mast, and bouquets, wreaths, and chaplets brought for- 
ward in profusion to mark the sad event and impress it upon the memory 
of every sympathetic heart. And this indeed is well. We cheer the 
soldier when he first devotes himself to the cause of liberty and his coun- 
try, and we give him a hearty welcome when his term of service expires 
and he comes from the battlefield again to engage in the pursuits of 
peace; or, if it be his fate to die in the conflict, he has earned the glory 
which ever crowns a patriot's grave; and that man is a traitor, or a 
villain, or both, who is not proud to acknowledge it. 

The Daily Herald of the same date editorially said : 

Our community was filled with sadness on Sunday afternoon, by 
a telegram from Baltimore announcing that Captain Bartlett of Com- 
pany B, 35th Regiment, was dead, and his remains then on the way 
home for burial. The messenger with the corpse was expected here 
last evening or this morning, and the funeral will be on Tuesday after- 
noon. This was the first news of the casualty, and we have few par- 
ticulars. It is probable that Captain Bartlett was killed in the battle 
of Wednesday, and perhaps the body was not recovered till Thursday, 
or the fact would have been reported with the casualties to other offi- 
cers. 

Captain Bartlett was a young man, but thirty years old, and leaves 
a wife and one child. He had much military taste, and for many 
years had been connected with the volunteer militia, holding the posi- 
tion of captain when the rebellion conmienced. He was one of the first 
to answer the call of the President for 75,000 men to defend the capital. 
His orders were received late in the afternoon, and he reported the next 
morning. He served honorably during the three months; and the acts 



104 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

of the 8th Regiment are known to the country and the world, for at 
the time their praises were on all tongues, and in all papers at home and 
abroad. The regiment had a public reception in Boston, and the Gush- 
ing Guards was in the same manner received here. As they were not 
again called into service, Gaptain Bartlett was at home a full year; but 
when during that period the alarm was sounded that the capital was 
again in danger, at the time of Banks' retreat, he called his men out 
at dead of night, and with full ranks they reached Boston in the first 
train of cars. Ever was he ready to serve his country — to fight its 
battles; and he would not have been absent from the camp or field a 
day, if he could have avoided it. At the last call for three years' men, 
he aided in recruiting Gompany B, of the 35th Regiment, and was elected 
their captain, and hastened to the conflict. In less than four weeks 
from leaving this city he was dead. He fell where he would have wished 
to die, at the head of his brave men, fighting for the Gonstitution and 
the Union: he died where he would have wished to die, where the boom- 
ing of cannons sounded his requiem, and the cry of victory cheered his 
last moments. Brave man, farewell! Peace, an eternal peace to thee! 
Friends will lament thee; acquaintances will recall thy generous and 
manly qualities; and a grateful country will enroll thy name on the 
list of martjTs who died for freedom. 

At a meeting of the officers of the 8th Regiment, M. V. M., 
held at their regimental headquarters, at Camp Stanton, Box- 
ford, September 24th, the following resolutions were unani- 
mously adopted: 

Resolved, That we, the officers of the 8th Regiment, M. V. M., now 
in the United States service, have heard with sadness of the death of 
our old companion in arms, Gapt. Albert W. Bartlett of Newburyport, 
late captain in the 35th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, who was 
killed in the battle of Antietam September 17th, bravely fighting at the 
head of his company. 

Resolved, That we fully appreciate the patriotism and perseverance 
which on the first call of the President led him, in the face of obstacles 
which none of the rest of us had to encounter, to hurry forward with a 
handful of men, relying on the justice of his cause, and sober reflections 
of his fellow-citizens, for the filling up of his ranks. 

Resolved, That we remember with pleasure his frank and cordial 
manners, and bear witness to his abihty as an officer, to his promptness, 
his reliability, and especially to his great modesty, with the utmost sat- 
isfaction. We believe that no officer in our regiment was more esteemed 
by his companions or respected by his command. 

Resolved, That to his many mourning relatives and friends we de- 
sire to extend all the sympathy which these or wliich any words, how- 
ever fitly spoken, might freely express. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 105 

Captain Bartlett is no more: to our righteous cause he gave "all 
that he had," — his Ufe. Let us as brother soldiers in the impending 
conflict keep his memory green. Goodwin and Bartlett have gone be- 
fore; others probably soon must follow; but whatever we do, or what- 
ever we suffer, let us, like them, remember 

"God and our native land." 

James Hudson, Jr., 
Captain Company F, Chairman. 
David W. Low, Captain Company G, Secretary. 

The death of Captain Bartlett was not known until after 
the battle had ended. He was killed after dark on the even- 
ing of September 17th, near what is known as Burnside's 
bridge while the regiment occupied the advanced position 
near the lane, and before it had withdrawn to the shelter 
of the rising ground. This, however, was not known until 
Friday morning, as the field between the regiment and 
the rebel line, a distance of about five hundred feet, over 
which the regiment had retired after dark, was strewn with 
the dead and dying of both armies. Neither would per- 
mit the other to visit it. The last seen of the captain was after 
the darkness had closed in upon the terrible scene of the after- 
noon. He walked along the line to the left, and stood for 
quite a time in conversation with Captain King; as he turned 
to go to his own company, he remarked, "Captain, my men 
are being terribly cut up." His body was found near where 
the conversation was held, among the dead of Company K, 
which accounts for his not having been seen by the men of 
his own company after he fell. The body contained four 
wounds, — one in the right thigh, another in the right arm, 
the third in the right side, while the fourth shattered the left 
leg below the knee. As the position occupied by the body 
was commanded by a cross-fire from a rebel battery, it is 
presumed that all the wounds were received at the same time. 
The body was first discovered by Colonel Provost of the 118th 
Pennsylvania Infantry, who was in command of the skirmish 
line which advanced early Friday morning. The remains were 
soon in the hands of friends. Not far from where the body of 
the captain lay, and in rear of the position occupied })y Com- 
pany B, were the remains of David R. Hinkley, Alphonso P. 



106 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

Reed, and Caleb C. Pike, all of Company B. Jeremiah Long, 
Jr., who was killed by a shell or solid shot striking him in the 
head, was not identified. George W. Hodgdon was doubtless 
severely wounded, and died at some field hospital, as his body 
could not be found. All the wounded of Company B were at 
this time being cared for at the hospitals in the rear of the 
lines, excepting Corp. William C. Colby and Joseph Cossar, 
who were both mortally wounded and remained on the field. 

The casualties among the soldiers from Newburyport were 
greater during the Maryland campaign under General McClel- 
lan than at any period of the war. The week embracing the 
battles of South Mountain and Antietam was one of painful 
anxiety, bringing sadness and desolation to many hearts and 
homes. The 35th Regiment, in which so many men from 
Newburyport had enlisted, left the State August 22d, and was 
immediately sent to the Army of the Potomac. In less 
than four weeks from time of its leaving home, it had been 
actively engaged in both of the battles mentioned, and eleven 
men from this city had been killed or died of wounds, and 
twenty-eight wounded; while in the 19th Massachusetts In- 
fantry, two men from this city were killed and three wounded, 
and one from the 1st Company of Massachusetts Sharpshooters 
killed.

The sad news received from the battlefields of South 
Mountain and Antietam prompted Postmaster Nathan A. 
Moulton and Mr. Eben Manson to start immediately for the 
front, to assist in any way possible the soldiers from Newbury- 
port who were wounded or sick in hospital, and to visit the 
men from this city in the 35th Regiment. In company with 
Sergt. George W. Creasey they arrived in Baltimore and vis- 
ited the Stewart Mansion, West Warehouse, and McKim's 
hospitals, at each of which places Newburyport men were 
found. They also visited the hospitals in Frederick City, 
Middletown, Boonsboro, Keedysville, Md., and the field hos- 
pitals near Antietam, distributing at each place a portion of 
the supplies brought from home. Their advent among those 
who were suffering in hospital was hailed with expressions of 
joy, while the delicacies distributed were received with grate- 
ful hearts. Their kindness of heart will always be remembered 
by those who were consoled by their sympathy, enlivened by 
their cheerfulness, and assisted by their liberality. 

October Qth (Monday). At a meeting of the city council 
the following resolutions, introduced by Alderman William H. 
Huse, were unanimously adopted: 

Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the city government that 
Corp. William C. Colby of Company B, 3.5th Regiment of Massachusetts 
Volunteers, died at Boonsboro, Md., on the third instant, from wounds 
received at the battle of Antietam, therefore 

Resolved, That bj' his death the city of Newburyport loses a worthy 



108 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 

and patriotic citizen, who has laid down his Hfe in defense of the govern- 
ment, and whose name deserves remembrance as a martyr in tlie cause 
of constitutional liberty, which was dearer to him than life itself. 

Resolved, That we hereby tender our sympathies to the widow of 
the deceased, and the friends who are called to mom-n liis early death. 

Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the records of the 
city in honor of the man, that a copy of the same be presented to the 
family of the deceased, and as a fiu"ther token of respect the city govern- 
ment will attend his funeral, and during the funeral ceremonies display 
the flag for which he fought at half-mast on the City Hall. 

A committee, consisting of Aldermen William H. Huse and 
George J. George, and Councilmen William H. Johnson, Jacob 
G. Brown, and Moses Pettingell, Jr., was appointed to make 
arrangements for the funeral. 

The city council also provided that all volunteers from the 
city who were not commissioned officers, who had been or 
should thereafter be discharged from the army for disability 
contracted while in the service, might receive aid from the 
city not to exceed $12 per month, at the discretion of the 
Relief Committee. At the same meeting the Veteran Artillery 
Association was given the custody of the two field-pieces 
belonging to the State. 

October 1th (Tuesday). The funeral of Corp. William C. 
Colby of Company B, 35th Regiment Massachusetts Infantry, 
who died at Boonsboro, Md., from wounds received at Antie- 
tam, took place from the Christian Chapel on Court Street. 

The attendance was very large, the people surrounding the church for 
hours before the time. The exercises at the church were marked by the 
deepest solemnity, and the remarks of Rev. Daniel P. Pike were listened 
to with the closest attention. The deceased was a man of generous 
feelings, and had attached to him many warm friends, who will long 
remember and sincerely mourn him. In the procession to the grave 
were the city government, the United States officers in town, the firemen, 
and many soldiers. 

At a meeting of the Board of Engineers of the city, the following 
preamble and resolutions were imanimously adopted : — 

Whereas, The mournful event of the death of Corp. William C. Colby, 
late a member of this Board, who fell while gallantly fighting for his 
country, at the battle of Antietam, on the 17th day of September last, 
demands from us a suitable record of the feelings of sorrow engendered 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1862. 109 

in otir hearts by the loss of one whom, now that he is no more, it is our 
sad privilege to mourn: therefore, be it 

Resolved, That in the death of Corp. William C. Colby, the coimtry 
has lost the services of a brave and faithful soldier, the Fire Depart- 
ment a faithful member, and we a devoted friend. 

Resolved, That we deeply deplore the death of our late friend and 
companion, and we beg leave to tender our heartfelt sympathy and 
condolence to his widow and relatives; and although we shall see his 
manly form no more among us, we console ourselves with the reflection 
that his spirit is now in a better world, while the memory of his many 
virtues will long be cherished in our hearts.

William A, Davis,

October 9th (Thursday). The mayor was authorized by the 
city council to pay the bounty of $200 to five men belonging 
to the company commanded by Capt. Stephen D. Gardiner, 
and the same amount to two men in the company commanded 
by Capt. Eben F. Stone, the parties having enhsted previous 
to the first day of October, but not mustered into the United 
States service until after that date; the order passed Septem- 
ber 16th paying a bounty of $200 to volunteers having expired 
by limitation October 1st. 

October 22d (Wednesday). The remains of Andrew J. Nash 
of Company B, 35th ]\Iassachusetts Infantry, who died at 
Middleton, Md., September 25th, from wounds received in the 
battle at South Mountain, arrived in the city. Funeral ser- 
vices were conducted by Rev. Daniel P. Pike at the Christian 
Chapel on Court Street. 

November 22. General Order No. 58 by the governor, or- 
dering a draft to be made on the 8th of December, gave a 
schedule by which it appeared that in this city 

The whole number of non-exempts by the Commissioners' returns 

was 1,564 

Whole number of non-exempts in three years' service 548 

Liable to draft 1,016

110 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18G2. 

November 2Ath (Monday). At a meeting of the city council 
the mayor was authorized to draw his order on the city treas- 
urer for a sum of money to pay the funeral expenses of An- 
drew J. Nash, formerly a private in Company B, 35th Regi- 
ment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. 

Colonel Fry, provost-marshal-general of the United States, 
having changed his original decisions allowing credit for sur- 
plus men furnished by the cities and towns, the draft for the 
nine months' men was ordered to proceed as though no surplus 
existed. Newburyport had furnished, exclusive of naval en- 
listments, five hundred and eighty-five men for three years, 
thirty-seven men in excess of all demand made upon the city. 
This surplus the government having refused to consider when 
the quota of nine months' men was being recruited, left a 
deficiency on the first of December of over fifty men. The 
city council at its meeting December 1st authorized the mayor 

To offer and pay a bounty of $200 per man for a sufficient number 
of men to answer the requisition upon the city for nine months' service, 
under the recent apportiohment, and that he take such measures as he 
shall deem expedient for raising said men. 

At a meeting of the city council held December 3, the 
bounty of $200 was made to apply to all volunteers enlisting 
for nine months' or three years' service. 

December 3d (Wednesday). The city council chose a com- 
mittee consisting of Aldermen Nathaniel Pierce, George J. 
George, and Councilmen Curtis French, Ralph C. Huse, and 
Stephen M. Pillsbury, 

To confer -ndth the commissioners appointed to allow exempts upon 
the military rolls of this district, and to do and to perform any and all 
service required to perfect the enrollment list of this city, in such a man- 
ner as will fully and plainly exhibit the exempts to which the city is 
entitled, and generally to do all other acts necessary for a compliance 
with General Order No. 58. 

December 30th (Tuesday). The city government ordered 

That the Relief Committee pay to the families of deceased volunteers 
the amount of State Aid said families would have been entitled to re- 
ceive had they continued in service, until such families shall receive the 
pension passed by the Congress of the United States, July 14th, 1862.

Mayor Boardman in his inaugural address made the follow- 
ing allusion to our national affairs: 

It has fallen to our lot to be called to manage the municipal affairs 
of our city, in this, as it appears to me, the most critical period of our 
nation's history; for contrary to the most cherished hopes and sanguine 
expectations indulged by us all at the commencement of the year just 
closed, the dark cloud of war still hangs over our beloved country, and 
our citizens are still required by the National Government to go forth to 
mortal combat against those once our brethren. 

To all the demands which have been made upon our city, whether 
for men or means, nobly has she responded ; and the fair fame and glori- 
ous record of our fathers has suffered no blot at the hands of their sons. 
Out of a population of less than thirteen thousand, we have already sent 
into the field nine hundred and one (901) men, and ninety-five (95) of 
our seamen have entered the naval service. The oft decimated ranks of 
our companies furnish honorable proof that they have been foremost 

among the brave. 

* Resigned. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 113 

January Ath (Sunday). Rev. Samuel J. Spalding of the 
Whitefield Church, State Street, announced to his congrega- 
tion that he had been commissioned chaplain of the 48th 
Regiment of Infantry, M. V. M. 

January 5th (Monday). At a meeting of the city council, 
the mayor and aldermen, with Councilmen Moses Pettingell, 
Jr., Thomas C. Goodwin, William H. Johnson, Charles M. 
Hodge, Thomas H. Cutter, and John Currier, 3d, were chosen a 
special committee for 1863, to have charge of all matters relat- 
ing to aid of families of volunteers. 

February 2d (Monday). At a meeting of the mayor and 
aldermen, the mayor presented the following report: 

At a meeting of the Relief Committee held on Tuesday, January 
27th, it was voted to recommend to the city council the appropriation of 
a sum of money to be applied to the relief of the families of those vol- 
unteers who have died, or may die, and also to those who have been or 
may be discharged permanently disabled, the same to be continued for 
the space of six months unless a pension should sooner be received, or 
unless further State legislation shall render such aid unnecessary. 

February 4^th (Wednesday). The funeral of Elbridge 
Graves, late of Company A, 45th Massachusetts Infantry, who 
died at Kinston, N. C, December 17th, from wounds received 
December 14th, took place at the North Church. The services 
were most solemn and impressive, the Rev. Mr. Campbell of 
the Prospect Street Church reading selections of Scripture, 
and Rev. E. C. Hooker offering prayer. Dr. S. K. Lothrop of 
Boston, who acted as chaplain of the 45th Regiment while 
encamped at Readville, made an eloquent and touching ad- 
dress. The ceremonies at the church were concluded by a 
dirge from the Newburyport Brass Band, after which a pro- 
cession was formed under the escort of the City Cadets, Capt. 
Luther Dame, which marched to the Oak Hill Cemetery, where 
the remains were deposited in the receiving tomb. They were 
subsequently removed to the burying-ground on Ring's Island, 
Salisbury. 

February 8th (Sunday). Funeral services were held at the 
Baptist Church, Congress Street, over the remains of Sergt.

(Mozart), who died at Falmouth, Ya., January 31st. In the 
absence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Campbell officiated. The pro- 
cession was escorted to the bin-ial-ground on Westley Street 
by the City Cadets, accompanied by the Newburyport Band, 
where the ceremonies were concluded by a dirge and the 
military salute. 

February 12th (Thursday). The obsequies of Jeremiah 
Downs, who enlisted from this city in the McClellan Guards, 
were attended at the Pleasant Street Church this afternoon, 
Rev. A. B. Muzzey conducting the services. In his address he 
referred to the testimonials of good character and good con- 
duct the deceased had received from the officers of his com- 
pany, how bravely and how firmly he had stood the shock of 
battle, and finally, when unable by sickness to meet the rigors 
of camp life, he was transferred to hospital, where, while 
ministering to the comforts of others, he contracted disease 
that cost him his life. 

The number of families receiving aid from the city on ac- 
count of those who have enlisted in the service of the United 
States as part of the quota of the city, was four hundred and 
thirty-four (434). The disbursements, amounting to eight 
hundred and sixty-one (861) dollars weekly, were divided as

council, the mayor laid before the board of aldermen a tele- 
graphic message from C. M. Davis at Portland, Me., notify- 
ing him that General Wool would visit Portsmouth, N. H., on 
the 3d inst., and would like to meet the mayor in regard to 
fortifications at the mouth of the Merrimack River. The 
mayor being unable to attend, it was voted that he be re- 
quested to appoint a committee to meet General Wool and 
confer with him upon the subject. Alderman William Graves 
and Norman C. Greenough were selected as the committee. 



NEWBURYPORT IX THE CI\^L AVAR, 1863. 115 

They conferred with General Wool at the time and place 
named; and after the examination of a chart of the coast and 
the Merrimack River, and having ascertained all the facts re- 
lating to our harbor, the General expressed the opinion that 
a fortification should be built without delay. 

March ISth (Friday). The body of Daniel P. Howard, 
late of Company B, 19th Massachusetts Infantry, killed at 
Fredericksburg, Dec. 13th, 1862, was buried from the Prospect 
Street Church, Rev. O. S. Butler, pastor, officiating. The ser- 
vices were attended by His Honor Mayor Jackman and a large 
number of soldiers. 

April Qth (Monday). At the regular meeting of the city 
council, Alderman John J. Currier presented the following 
resolutions, which were imanimously passed: 

Whereas, Company B of the 40th (Mozart) Regiment of Xew York 
State Volunteers is mainly composed of citizens of Xewbiir\'port, who 
enlisted at the commencement of the present Civil War, neither expecting 
nor receiving pecimiary reward, and since that date have endured all the 
hardships and privations of a soldier's life; and whereas, in consequence of 
their identification with the Xew York State Volunteers, their services have 
failed to receive from this Commonwealth that acknowledgment and 
commendation which would seem to be justly due them; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That for soldierly and exemplary conduct in camp, and 
brave and heroic conduct on the field, the thanks of the city be tendered 
to the commissioned officers and privates of Companj' B of said regi- 
ment, with the assurance on our part that while Williamsburg and Fair 
Oaks and Malvern Hill and Fredericksburg are remembered, their deeds 
of valor on those blood-stained fields will never be forgotten. 

Resolved, That while we mourn the loss of those of said company 
who have fallen in the shock of battle, or have j^elded to disease con- 
tracted in camp, we are proud to know that while living they were stout 
of heart and valiant in spirit, at all times nobly sastaining the honor 
and credit of the city of their birth and adoption. 

Resolved, That the city clerk be directed to forward a copy of these 
resolutions to Capt. Henrj^ H. Foster of Company B, Xew York State 
Volunteers (Mozart Regiment), to be communicated through him to the 
members of said company now in camp on the banks of the Rappahannock. 

These resolutions having been forwarded to Captain Foster 
and communicated to the company, the following response 
was received by the mayor: 



116 NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

Headquarters 40th Regiment New York Volunteers, 
Near Potomac Creek, Va., May 10th, 1863. 
To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen and Common Council 

of Newburyport, Mass.: 

Gentlemen, — I have been favored by Captain Foster of Company B 
of this regiment with a copy of the resolutions of your honorable body, 
with reference to him and his command, and I beg you wUl allow me to 
give those resolutions my full approval. 

As commandant of the regiment I have been cognizant of their 
conduct, and may freely say that they have contributed largely to the 
glory which the regiment has earned in many a hard-fought battle, — 
a glory which I am proud to say is conceded by all military men, and 
which has been bought by the sacrifice of much blood, in which your 
city has offered a free tribute. 

Company B has ever been ready at the right time, in the right place, 
and Captain Foster has ever been with them to show them the way. 
Much as I rejoice that the company is in my regiment, I have often won- 
dered that Massachusetts should allow so fine a body of men to leave 
the State for service at a time when every loyal State needs all of her 
best and bravest sons in her own ranks. 

Captain Foster, I consider, stands in the front rank of military men, 
and as a brave and fearless officer has few equals and no superiors. And 
I may safely add the same of Lieutenants Stover and Welch, whose loss 
to the regiment I very much deplore. 

With many thanks for the generous though just and deserved senti- 
ments embodied in these resolutions, I remain, gentlemen, your obedient 
servant, 

T. W. Egan, Colonel iOth New York Volunteers, 

Commanding First Brigade. 

Camp 40th New York Volunteers, 
Near Potomac Creek, Va., May 9th, 1863. 
To THE Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen and Common Council 

of Newburyport, Mass.: 

Gentlemen, — The preamble and resolutions which your honorable 
body were pleased to pass April 6th, 1863, with reference to myself and 
my command, I have the pleasure of communicating in person to the 
few who now remain of the company. I assure you, gentlemen, that 
I am truly grateful for your kindness in thus indorsing not only my mili- 
tary conduct, but the conduct of the brave men whom it is my fortune 
to command. 

The peculiarly trying circumstances under which we entered the 
•service, together with the efficient and indomitable energy of Captain 
Westcott, did much to prepare them for the trying scenes through which 
they have passed, and in which so many have suffered, but above and 
before all, Nature made them brave. They enlisted without a bounty, 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 117 

and they have fought without flinching. There are a few who with 
neither moral courage nor pride of character have basely deserted rather 
than stand before the shock of battle. Cowards and poltroons! Their 
names have been obliterated from the roll of honor, which is in so many 
places crimson with the blood of those who have fallen under the flag 
we have sworn to defend. 

To Captain Westcott we owe much for the energy which overcame 
the many obstacles thrown in our path, and gained for us a position in 
one of the best regiments in the service ; and to him personally I am under 
lasting obligations, not only for the kind courtesy with which he ever 
treated me while an officer under him, but for the many acts of kindness 
manifested towards myself and the men since his retirement from the 
service. 

In Lieutenants Stover and Welch I have had able support, and the 
noble example of unflinching courage to stimulate the men in the hour 
of peril; and in the men I have had a devotion and heroism worthy of 
the highest praise. 

If in the various and oftentimes perplexing duties I have been called 
upon to perform, I have succeeded in gaining your approval, I am truly 
proud, but can only claim to have tried earnestly to do mj^ duty. 

In behalf of myself and the men, I again thank you for your kind- 
ness, and remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, 

Henry H. Foster, 
Captain Company B, 40th New York Volunteers. 

The Newburj'^port Herald records the death of Charles 
Walter Huse, aged twenty-one years, son of Mr. Charles L. 
Huse of this city, who died at the residence of his father, 
Monday morning, April 6th, and says of him: 

He belonged to our National Guards, Company B, 40th New York 
(Mozart) Regiment, from which he was discharged as incurably sick 
January 7th, after serving nineteen months. He was in several hard bat- 
tles and a number of skirmishes, his regiment being in the thickest of 
the fight in the Peninstilar campaign. He held a good reputation as a 
soldier, never shrinking and never fearing. But the labors and exposure 
were too much for him ; and after escaping the bullets of the foe so many 
months, he at last succumbed to disease and returned home to die. 

April 18th (Saturday). The funeral of Edward W. Page, 
private of Company A, 23d Massachusetts Infantry, occurred 
this afternoon at the residence of his father, Mr. William E. 
Page, No. 2 Winter Street. He enlisted in August, 1861, and 
followed his regiment to North Carolina, where he was sick in 



118 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

the hospital for several months, but unable to get his discharge 
until the 7th inst., when he was too far gone to recover. He 
reached home Wednesday the 15th, and died Friday the 17th 
inst. 

April 29th. The Legislature passed an Act to provide 
for the reimbursement to the cities and towns of the Com- 
monwealth the bounties which had been paid by them to 
volunteers who had enlisted and been mustered into the ser- 
vice of the United States under the calls of the President 
made in July and August, 1862, not exceeding SI 00 for each 
volunteer. The governor of the Commonwealth issued an 
executive order, May 13th, 1863, requiring all cities and towns 
to make returns, giving the names of all such volunteers to 
whom they had paid bounties, the amount paid to each, and 
the regiments to which they were assigned. 

The following is the return made by the mayor and alder- 
men June 30th, 1863: 

A LIST OF THOSE TO WHOM A BOUNTY OF $200 WAS PAID, WHO 

WERE ENLISTED AND MUSTERED INTO THE SERVICE OF THE 

UNITED STATES UNDER THE CALLS OF THE PRESIDENT 

MADE IN THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST, 1862.

From the assessors' books the tax for 1863 was assessed 
upon a vahie in real estate of $3,048,700, personal property 
$3,395,000, total $6,443,700, — a dedine on the real estate 
from 1862 of $114,750, while the personal property is ad- 
vanced $339,000, which makes a total gain of $224,250. This 
gain does not, however, reach the valuation of 1861 by $154,400. 
The amount of money required by the city for the current year 
was derived from tax on real estate, $42,647.40; tax on per- 
sonal property, $47,570; tax on polls, $4,696.00, — making a 
total of $94,913.40. The demands were as follows: State tax, 
$18,768; county tax, $7,818.29; city appropriation, $65,000; 
overplus, $3,337.11. The polls for this year were 2,348, which 
is 114 less than 1862, and 82 less than 1861. 

May 4th (Monday). At a meeting of the city govern- 
ment the following order was adopted : — 

That the room in City Hall used as a ward room be, until otherwise 
ordered, used as a recruiting office to obtain recruits for the Artillery 
Regiment now stationed at Fort Warren; the expense of heating and 
lighting the same, and the expense of advertising the same, also of post- 
ers, be paid by the city, and charged to the appropriation of incidentals. 

The above to be carried into effect so soon as Lieut. J. H. Baldwin 
shall satisfy the mayor that all recruits obtained at said office shall be 
credited to this city as a part of any quota it may be called upon to fur- 
nish, and the bounty of six dollars per man for all accepted men be paid 
into the city treasury.

ception of a small lookout about two inches in diameter. Being designed

The mayor by the following letter again called the atten- 
tion of the State government to the necessity of protecting 
the city and harbor by the erection of fortifications at the 
mouth of the river. 

CiTT OF NeWBURTPORT, 

June 29th, 1863. 
To His Excellency the Governor: 

Dear Sir, — In behalf of the city government, and in view of the 
transaction which has just transpired at Portland, I take the liberty to 
call the attention of your excellency to the totally defenceless condition 
of the harbor and city of Newburj'port, and to earnestly ask that at 
least some immediate temporary protection may be afforded us. 

The United States Government have made surveys of our harbor 
and decided upon a location, where a permanent fortification will doubt- 
less be erected; but as the engineers informed us that at least two years 
would be required to complete such works as were contemplated, they 
thought a temporary defence should at once be commenced, and sug- 
gested that earthworks might at a small outlay be thrown up on Plum 
Island, which would effectually command the entrance to our harbor, 
and that they should urge its importance upon the Department at once. 
Still nothing has been done, and we are now at the mercy of am-^ ma- 
rauder who by an armed vessel, or even by armed boats, could lay us 



NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 127 

under contribution or destroy our shipping and a large number of valu- 
able vessels now building on the banks of the Merrimack; for with the 
exception of two small and comparatively useless field-pieces, and these 
without ammunition, the entire population are without any means of 
defence against even an armed boat's crew. Under the provision of 
Chapter 118 of the Acts of the Legislature of 1863, it is believed that 
this point is one which imperatively demands the immediate attention of 
the State authorities for the protection not only of this citj', but of the 
numerous towns and manufacturing villages on the Merrimack River. 
With the highest regards, 

I am truly your obedient servant, 

I. H. BoARDMAN, Mayor. 

The governor replied as follows : — 

Commonwealth op Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, 
Boston, June 30th, 1863. 
To Hon. Isaac H. Boardman, 
Mayor of Neivburyport. 

Sir, — Your letter concerning the defenceless condition of your har- 
bor has been copied and forwarded to the Head of the Corps of the United 
States Engineers at Washington, with appropriate remarks in aid of its 
views. 

In the absence of permanent fortifications, earthworks if necessary 
have always been contemplated at various points on the coast. These 
precise points the United States Engineers wish to designate, and wish 
also to superintend their erection whenever it is done. It is, moreover, 
desired that none should be erected unless, nor until, the guns are at 
hand to mount in them. We here at the State House are, and have 
been, doing our utmost to procure the guns. We have some ordnance 
belonging to the State, now at New Bedford, which might be transferred 
to Newburyport, their place being supplied there by new ordnance in 
their new forts. 

The United States engineer for this post is Major Blunt. He who 
made a recent survey on the north and south shores is Lieutenant Alex- 
ander. His report was promised me. I hope for a copy by an early 
mail. Not being an expert in that science, I am not able myself to give 
advice touching the erection of earthworks for defensive purposes, and 
cannot venture to give original opinion; but I will impart to you all in- 
formation I possess from the proper quarters, and I will gladly render 
any official aid or promote any official action which may be found de- 
sirable for the benefit of your harbor. Any suggestions will be immedi- 
ately and respectfully considered, and such action as may be found desirable 

and possible promptly taken. 

I am, Mr. Mayor, 

Respectfully your obedient .servant, 

John A. Andrew, Governor. 



128 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

The raising of troops by draft, in accordance with the 
law of Congress, was commenced in this Commonwealth in 
the months of June and July. Major Clark, U. S. A., was 
made provost-marshal-general for the State, and assistant 
provost-marshals for the several Congressional Districts were 
appointed at Washington to conduct the draft. 

Capt. Daniel H. Johnson, Jr., of Salem was appointed 
provost-marshal for the Fifth District, including twenty-six 
cities and towns of Essex County, Newburyport being one of 
the number. A Board was also established to make an en- 
rollment of all persons in the Commonwealth between the 
ages of twenty and forty-five years. 

July Ath (Saturday). Anniversary of our national inde- 
pendence. By order of the mayor the several bells in the 
city were rung one hour at sunrise, noon, and at sunset. 

July 5th (Sunday). At noon to-day an extra of the New- 
buryport Herald was issued, announcing the glorious victory 
at Gettysburg, with a congratulatory address of President 
Lincoln to the people of the country on the success of the 
Army of the Potomac and the cause of the Union. 

July 1th (Tuesday). Hardly had the people ceased rejoic- 
ing over the victory of our army in Pennsylvania before the 
telegraph announced the again glorious news of the uncon- 
ditional surrender of Vicksburg to General Grant. No sooner 
was it announced by the operator than the city was wild with 
excitement and delight. Business was suspended, the schools 
dismissed, and men, women, and children rejoiced together. 



"The Veteran Artillery and City Cadets paraded the 
streets with music. All the bells of the city were rung for six 
hours, artillerys alutes fired, firecrackers and fire-arms exploded, 
while cheer upon cheer rent the air until the heavens reverber- 
ated the notes of gladness and thanksgiving for the patriotism, 
bravery, and success of our gallant armies in the field." 

July 8th (Wednesday). A meeting was held at the Pros- 
pect Street Church this morning at eight o'clock, continuing 
one hour, "For praise and thanksgiving to God our Saviour, 
for the recent signal successes which have been graciously 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAB, 1863. 129 

vouchsafed to our arms at the East and the West." Rev. 
Randolph Campbell conducted the services, followed by Dr. 
Leonard Withington, and Revs. James N. Sykes, John R. 
Thurston, and Elias C. Hooker. 

July 10th (Friday). The draft for Congressional District 
No. 5 commenced at Lyceum Hall, Salem, to-day. The draft 
is from the first class of the national forces, which embraces 
all married men between the ages of 20 and 35 years, and all 
unmarried, including widowers, between 20 and 45 years, to 
the number of 1,851 men. 

The number of men required from Newburyport is 158, 
divided as follows: from Ward One, 32; Ward Two, 26; Ward 
Three, 23; Ward Four, 28; Ward Five, 23; Ward Six, 26. To 
cover any deficiencies caused by physical or other exemptions, 
fifty per cent above the quota were drawn. 

July ISth (Monday). The draft for Newburyport took 
place at Mechanics' Hall, Salem, this afternoon, under the 
superintendence of Capt. Daniel H. Johnson, provost-marshal,

Coffin and the regiment to Maryland Heights, Virginia, and 
did not reach home until the 29th inst. No public reception 
was given the company, because of its return by detachments.

the city and informed Mayor Boardman that the erection of 
a fortification on Salisbury Point, just below Black Rocks, 
had been determined upon by the War Department, and that 
operations would immediately commence.

NEWBUKYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 137 

and affecting speech, in which he reviewed his early associa- 
tions, his sixty years' residence in the city, during which 
time he had watched the coming-up of the generation who 
stood before him, and had contributed to that education and 
training which had fitted them to fight the battles of life. 

Captain Gardiner responded in behalf of the company, 
when they were invited to make themselves at home, and 
enjoy the pleasures of the house and grounds. A pavihon 
was erected, in the garden, under which tables were spread 
with a fine collation. Patriotic toasts were given and re- 
sponded to, while the music by the band was highly appre- 
ciated. The company, after visiting different parts of the 
city, sat down to a sumptuous dinner at City Hall. Captain 
Foster of the 40th New York, Lieutenant Hodges of the 35th

Newburyport, Aug. 24th, 1863. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18G3. 139 

At a meeting of the Gushing Guards, Gompany A, 8th 
Regiment, held at the Gun House on Monday morning, it 
was unanimously voted to respectfully decline the invitation 
to a reception at Gity Hall. They also unanimously voted to 
tender a reception to Gompany A of the 48th Regiment on 
their return home after being mustered out of service; and 
Lieut. Eben P. Gutter, Sergt. Edward J. Sawyer, Sergt. San- 
ford W. Grant, Privates Ezekiel G. Whittier and Gharles O. 
Morrill, were selected as the Gommittee of Arrangements, 



At the appointed hour the procession formed on the mall, consist- 
ing of the Veteran Artillery Association, Capt. John Burrill, the City 
Cadets, Capt. Luther Dame, with that portion of the 48th Regiment to 
be received, with Bond's Union Band of Boston and the Committee of 
Arrangements. The route as arranged by the committee was adhered 
to, and from the commencement to the end of the march it was one con- 
tinuous expression of joy and gratitude by the thousands of friends who 
had gathered to bid them welcome. The streets through which the pro- 
cession passed were profusely decorated, and the national emblem waved 
from almost every house-top. At the residence of Col. Frederick J. 
Coffin on Green Street, the commander of the 8th Massachusetts In- 
fantry, that had but just returned from nine months' service in North 
Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia, were displayed: — 

The national flag presented to the 8th Regiment by the Sons of 
Massachusetts resident in New York when on their way to defend the 
capital in 1861. 

The national flag given by the State in the fall of 1862 to the 8th 
Regiment when they volunteered. 

The national flag presented by the Union Ladies of Baltimore to 
the 8th Regiment when they occupied that city in 1861. 

The regimental flag of the 8th Regiment, carried in its first cam- 
paigns of 1861. 

The regimental flag of the 8th Regiment, carried in their campaigns 
in North CaroHna, Maryland, and Virginia. 

At the City Hall were some three hundred invited guests, including 
military men, sons of Newburyport from abroad, and ladies who had 
made ample preparations for the occasion. Tables were placed the 
length of the Hall, and abundantly supplied with all procurable luxuries. 

The company was called to order by Capt. John Burrill of the Vet- 
eran Artillery Association, who acted as chairman. Capt. William E. 
Currier spoke as follows: — 



140 NEWBUEYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

"Col. Eben F. Stone and Staff, and Captain Woodward, subalterns and 
members of Company A, 48th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers: 
"The citizens of Newburyport, your friends, and the friends of the 
soldiers, have come here to meet you, and have given me the honor to 
say in their behalf we welcome you to our city, your home, — the home 
where affection dwells and where the heart can bloom; we have come to 
meet you and to behold each well-remembered face, and to count you 
with the living, — for you have come from the field of battle and from 
the field of carnage; you have come with victories on your ensign and 
with laurels on your brow, — laurels won in the maintenance of our 
national government, — a government without a parallel in the age of 
the world. 

"We are assembled here to-day to do you, 'Returned Soldiers,' 
homage. We are assembled here to-day to cherish the remembrance of 
the heroic dead, those patriots belonging to this command, who in the 
deadly conflict on the battlefield poured out their liquid life to brighten 
their country's altar, and had their sacred bodies committed to the clod 
of the valley by the margin of the Father of Waters, hallowing it. May 
they be in sacred remembrance while the valley bears a plant or river 
waters run!" 

Rev. Randolph Campbell was next introduced, who asked divine 
blessing, after which a brief season was enjoyed discussing the luxuries 
of the tables. 

Captain Burrill introduced Philip K. Hills, Esq., as toastmaster, 
who introduced as the first regular toast, — 

"The 48th Regiment." 

Colonel Stone in responding gave a brief history of the doings of the 
48th from the time it went into active service up to the day it left for the 
North. He spoke of the thrilling events of May 21st, 27th, and June 14th, 
and then of the fight at Donaldson ville, July 13th, and the consequences 
that followed, so deeply to be lamented, which had made homes desolate 
and filled hearts with sadness. These were dates which the 48th would 
never forget, and which they inscribed on their banner, perforated and 
torn, and still the more to be valued and cherished, on account of the 
terrible scenes through which it had been carried, and that now it was 
again in the city where it was received in its original beauty. He spoke 
of the severe marches from time to time beneath a burning sun, with 
short rations, and with no beds but the earth. And yet the regiment 
was more than repaid when it saw the evidences that its services were 
appreciated, and that it had not gone forth without sympathy and the 
confidence of the community. He next paid^a merited tribute to the 
memory of the noble men who had fallen in their attempts to defend 
their country. There were Peabody, Lunt, and Poor, young, brave, and 
patriotic; Perkins and Houston, determined and gallant, — loved by their 
associates and lamented in their fall, with a poignancy of grief which 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 141 

language had no power to express. He referred also to Lieut-Col. James 
O'Brien, and cherished him as being as generous, valiant, and whole- 
souled an Irishman as ever lived; and this he regarded as high a compli- 
ment as he was capable of pajang him. 

Colonel Stone offered as a sentiment, "The memory of the fallen of 
the 48th Regiment," and suggested that it be drank standing and in 

silence. 

2d. "Company A, 48th Regiment — our sons, our younger sons: by 
their valor and endurance they have reflected great credit on their fathers 
and the city of their birth." 

Captain Woodward in responding spoke of the feeling which had 
been manifested aU the way in their journey home. They had been re- 
ceived with kindness in the several cities and towns through which they 
passed, the people seeming unable to do enough. This was a cause of 
gratitude, and he trusted he and Company A were impressed with the 
obUgations under wliich it laid them. The demonstration before him 
was more — they were among their friends, those whom they loved, 
whose interests were theirs, and they could never forget the day and its 
happy incidents. He closed with the sentiment, "Home." 
3d. "The President of the United States." 

Responded to by Enoch G. Currier, Esq., collector of the Port, who 
alluded to the arduous duties of President Lincoln and what he had 
already accomplished — the emancipation proclamation and its effects in 
freeing the country from slavery. 
4th. "The Armv and Navy." 

Chaplain Samuel J. Spalding responded. He claimed to have seen 
personally few of the perils of the field. He had done what he could 
among the sick and the wounded. His main theme was the endurance 
of the men under the trying circumstances in which he had met them. 
He had heard no word of complaint — no doubts or fears expressed of 
the ultimate result. All were hopeful and determined, ready to do to the 
last and with cheerfulness aU their country could demand at their hands. ^ 

5th. " The City of Newburyport — loyal and patriotic to its heart's 
core: the evidences of it are all around us." 

Mayor Isaac H. Boardman responded, not as mayor, he remarked, 
but as a private citizen, for the city, as such, was not known in the re- 
ception, though its government entered heartily into the spirit of the 
occasion, and would gladly, in their corporate capacity, welcome home 
every citizen who had gone forth to fight for his country. He spoke of 
what Newburyport had done, and from the record of the past what we 
might expect at her hands through her sons. They would never be 
found wanting; and too much could not be done as expressive of our 
gratitude and sympathy for our self-exiled soldiery. 

6th. "The Ladies. Their constant care and attention to the sol- 
dier entitles them to the highest praise of being called the worthy daugh- 
ters of the mothers of the Revolution." 



142 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

Responded to by Deacon William Thurston. He referred to the 
noble work the ladies had done, and looked forward to what they would 
yet accomplish. Without their aid the war could not be successfully 
stopped: with their efforts the end would soon appear. 

7th. "The Returned Soldiers, our Guests. We are honored by 
their presence among us, — the best type of true manhood, maimed and 
disabled in their country's cause." 

Lieut. John W. Ricker of the 48th, who lost a leg at Port Hudson, 
was called upon to respond. He alluded to the victories that had at- 
tended our armies in the field. 

8th. "The Sons of Newburyport from abroad. We welcome you to 
the paternal roof on one of Newburyport's most glorious days." 

Responded to by Colonel Clement of Wisconsin, who spoke in very 
complimentary terms in reference to the daughters of Newburyport. He 
did not believe there was a city in the country, of forty thousand in- 
habitants, that could boast of so many beautiful, accomplished, and 
patriotic ladies. He gave as a sentiment, "The Sons of Newburyport: 
they will never dishonor the place of their birth." 

9th. "The Press. Its power is incalculable by any arithmetic yet 
applied to mortal problems." 

George J. L. Colby, Esq., editor of the Newburyport Herald, re- 
sponded, saying that he had taken a deep interest in the 48th from its 
organization, from the fact that he was personally acquainted with a 
large portion of its members belonging to this city and the adjoining 
towns. Of Company A, eight or ten members had been connected as 
apprentices or newspaper carriers with the Herald office; and two mem- 
bers were still nearer to him, belonging to his own family. 

10th. "The Clergy. Nobly have they emulated the example of 
their predecessors of the Revolutionary era." 

Rev. Randolph Campbell responded. He had never introduced 
politics into the pulpit. He had aimed to preach the gospel. The 
assault upon Sumter had led him to inquire into the motive and purpose 
of the South, and it was apparent, and from their own avowal, that 
they would the more firmly establish and perpetuate slavery. Acting in 
view of this admission, he had never doubted that the cause of the loyal 
States was the cause of God, and he had felt called upon to advocate it 
as such, whenever a favorable opportunity presented itself. He believed 
it to be the duty of the pulpit to speak out : — the Master demanded it 
of his servants, and they who would be found faithful must obev the 
teachings of Providence, as well as of the written Word. 

Other gentlemen followed. Mr. Charles H. Coffin submitted the fol- 
lowing toast, which was most enthusiastically received: — 

"Colonel Coffin, his Staff, and the 8th Regiment." 

Capt. John Burrill of the Veteran Artillery Association presented 
the following: — 

"The Mothers of '76, and the Daughters of '63, — worthy daughters." 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 143 

At the close of the exercises at City Hall, the company with their 
guests formed on BrowTi's Square and marched to the mall, where, after 
a dress-parade, they were dismissed. 



September Zd. The reception tendered by Company A of 
the 8th Regiment, the Gushing Guards, to Gompany A of the 
48th Regiment, on their return from Wenham after having 
been mustered out of service, occurred this afternoon. Gom- 
pany A of the 48th was received at the Eastern Depot, and 
after parading through many of the principal streets were 
conducted to the Gity Hall, where a very fine collation had 
been prepared. Capt. Stephen D. Gardiner of the Gushing 
Guards, in the name of that company, welcomed the men of 
the 48th, and Gaptain Woodward responded. The occasion 
was one of great good feeling. 

September 30th (Wednesday). The anniversary of the or- 
ganization of the Gity Gadets was celebrated at the Merrimack 
House in the evening. It consisted of a supper, a presenta- 
tion, toasts, and speeches. The company is now organized as 
a part of the State miUtia, and designated as the 3d Unat- 
tached Gompany of Infantry, M. V. M. 

October 30th (Friday). The President of the United States, 
under date of October 17th, issued a call for 300,000 men to 
serve for three years, or during the war, to take the place of 
those who were to go out of service the following year; until 
Jan. 5th, 1864, was given to raise the number by volunteers. 
The quota assigned to Massachusetts was 15,126 men. By 
the governor's General Order No. 30, dated Boston, October 
29th, the quota for Newburyport was one hundred and seven- 
teen (117), divided as follows: Ward 1, twenty-four (24); Ward 
2, nineteen (19); Ward 3, seventeen (17); Ward 4, twenty-one 
(21); Ward 5, seventeen (17); Ward 6, nineteen (19). 

November 2d (Monday). At a meeting of the city council, 
Alderman John J. Gurrier introduced the following, which was 
adopted : — 

Whereas, The city council of the city of Newburyport have been 
informed that a movement is on foot in the different cities and towns 
in the State to induce the governor of this Commonwealth to call an 



144 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of repealing the law 
prohibiting the cities and towns to offer bounties to soldiers enlisting in 
the service of the United States, and, whereas, they believe that the 
system heretofore obtaining of one city or town bidding upon another is 
prejudicial to the best interests of the people and tends to diminish en- 
listments, therefore be it 

Resolved, By the city council, that in their opinion it is not ad^-isable 
to repeal said Jaw, but they would respectfully petition the governor of 
the Commonwealth to call an extra session of the Legislature for the 
purpose of increasing the bounties to be paid from the State Treasury 
to those who may hereafter enlist in the service of the United States. 

Resolved, That the city clerk be directed to forward a copy of these 
resolutions to the governor of the Commonwealth. 

November 12th (Thursday). In response to the call of the 
President for additional troops, and to facilitate the filling of 
the quota of the city, the following appeal for a public meet- 
ing at Market Hall was published in the Herald: — 

To THE Citizens of Newburyport: 

Earnestly desiring that the patriotism of the people may be publicly 
manifested, our quota speedily filled, the old enthusiasm be again revived, 
and every member of the community become interested in the work, we 
invite the citizens of Newburyport to meet us at Market Hall, this (Thurs- 
day) evening, November 12th, at 7.30 o'clock p.m., to make arrangements 
for holding a series of war meetings, to subscribe a fund for this purpose, 
and to transact any other business connected with the subject, which 
may come before us. 

Let Newburyport sustain her former reputation: let her be first 
among the cities of the Commonwealth to respond to this latest call of 
our country. (Signed)

Col. Eben F. Stone submitted the following resolutions, 
which were adopted: — 

Resolved, That in order to stimulate recruiting most effectively, it is 
in our opinion very important that a liberal sum should be offered as a 
bounty to volunteers, payable in full immediately on enlistment, and not 
in installment from time to time, in the nature of increased wages. 

Resolved, That a copy of these resolves be communicated immedi- 
ately to our Representatives in the Legislature. 

Henry M. Cross, Esq., presented the following, which was 
also adopted: — 

Resolved, That every member of this meeting will use their utmost 
endeavors and influence to see that the quota of Newburyport be filled 
to the maximum within ten days after the action of the present session 
of the Legislature shall become known. 

The meeting was addressed by Col. Eben F. Stone, Capt. 
Henry W. Moulton, and Henry M. Cross. 

November IQth (Wednesday). The first war meeting ar- 
ranged by the committee selected at the meeting at Market 
Hall on the 12th inst. was held at City Hall this evening. It 
was large and enthusiastic. Speeches were made by Rev. 
Willard Spaulding of Salem, Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, late 
chaplain of the 48th Regiment, and Rev. John R. Thurston of 
this city. 

November 17th (Thursday). The second war meeting took 
place at City Hall this evening, and notwithstanding the very 
severe rain, the hall was filled to its utmost capacity. Colonel 



146 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 

Gould of the 59th Massachusetts, and Lieutenant Cailef of the 
9th Massachusetts, spoke eloquently in support of the gov- 
ernment, urging the people to renewed patriotism and devo- 
tion in responding to the call of the President and support of 
our armies in the field. 

November IQth (Thursday). The funeral of John H. Ryan, 
formerly of Company B, 19th Massachusetts Infantry, who 
died at his home in this city on the 16th inst., occurred at 
the Purchase Street Church. 



By an Act of the Legislature passed Nov. 18th, 1863, the 
State offered a bounty of $325 to all volunteers who enlisted 
and were mustered into the service of the United States for 
three years; to those volunteers who preferred, instead of the 
$325 in hand, $50 was offered at the time of enhstment, w^th 
an additional pay of $20 per month. In case the volunteer 
chose to receive the increased monthly pay instead of the 
larger bounty, he was to receive the same pay of $20 per 
month for six months after his honorable discharge for dis- 
ability after six months' service. 

In case of death while in the service, his widow or heirs 
were to receive the same additional six months' pay after his 
death, with, however, the hmitation that it should not con- 
tinue more than three years in the whole. By accepting the 
bounty of $325, the recruit made sure of that sum and waived 
all chances of more. By accepting the $50 and monthly pay 
of $20, he would receive $330 from the State at the end of 
fourteen months, or $5 more than the bounty of $325. At 
the expiration of his three years' service he would receive 
$770. This bounty, in addition to the United States bounty 
of $402 to ''veterans" and $302 to new recruits, made the 
pay of those who served in Massachusetts regiments greater 
than was ever before given to soldiers. 

Governor Andrew, in his proclamation to the people of 
Massachusetts, dated Nov. 18th, 1863, says: — 

I know that the people of Massachusetts do not fight for money nor 
•vulgar glory. They fight for their country, to subdue the enemies of 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 147 

her rights and their own Uberties, under the better impulses of duty, 
patriotism, and manly honor. But the purpose of the State is to pro- 
vide for the comfort and protection of the soldier's household, so that 
the highest duties of patriotism may be found consistent with those of 
domestic affection. 

For the regulation of recruiting in the State, General Order 
No. 32 was issued November 20th, appointing the mayors of 
cities and selectmen of towns recruiting officers. In accord- 
ance with this order, Mayor Boardman, to facilitate recruit- 
ing, issued the following: — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Nov. 20th, 1863. 

Having been appointed, by authority of the provost-ma,rshal-generaI, 
as recruiting agent for the city, notice is hereby given, that Lieut. John 
W. Ricker, at No. 11 State Street, Lieut. Samuel W. HajTiea, at No. 33 
Market Square, and D. Clark Batchelder, at city marshal's office, are 
duly authorized to recruit for all branches of the service, and at either 
of these offices the generous bounties allowed by the General and State 
Governments can be secured. 

Young men of Newburyport, rally once more for the defence of your 
country, and by a prompt and enthusiastic response to the call to arms, 
maintain the high position this community has ever held in its devotion 
to the Union. Never despair, nor doubt the final result : — 
"For freedom's battle, once begun. 
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, 
Though baffled oft, is always won." 

Isaac H. Boardman, Mayor. 

December 7th (Monday). At the meeting of the city 
council, an order was adopted — 

authorizing and requiring the mayor to employ an agent at the city's 
expense, and upon the best terms which can be made, to visit such of 
the headquarters of the Massachusetts regiments as may not be too re- 
mote, haAdng soldiers serving therein enlisted from this city, to ascertain 
the names of such as have re-enlisted, or may by said agent be induced 
to re-enlist, in the service of their country, provided the mayor can pre- 
viously obtain from the proper quarters assurances that the names of 
such re-enlisted soldiers will be counted in the present quota assigned to 
Newburyport on the last call of the President for troops; and be it further 
ordered, that the sum required for such service of agent be taken from 
the appropriation of incidentals. 



148 NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL "WAH, 1863. 

In compliance with the above order, the mayor addressed 
the following letter to the governor, stating the action of the 
city government, and asking authority to act in accordance 
therewith: — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Dec. 8th, 1863, 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor. 

My dear Sir, — At a meeting of our city council last evening, I was 
authorized to send an agent to such of the headquarters of the Massa- 
chusetts regiments (not too remote) in which troops from tlus city are 
serving, to induce the enhstment of as large a number of them as may 
be practicable, provided I can previously obtain from the proper author- 
ities the assurance that such re-enlisted soldiers will be counted in the 
present quota assigned to Newburyport, under the last call of tlie Presi- 
dent for troops. On account of the indisposition of Adjutant-General 
Schouler, I have taken the libertj^ to address you upon the subject, and 
respectfully to ask that the information desired may be forwarded at an 
early day. 

In reference to enlistments, I have the honor to report that we are 
using our utmost exertions, and that, too, in strict compliance with the 
spirit of the law and your oft expressed wishes on the subject of bounties, 
to fill our quota, and we have already secured about one-half of the 
required number. 

No exertions on my part, or on that of the city government, will 
be spared to complete our quota. The greatest obstacle now in the 
way of enlistments is an impression prevailing among some of our re- 
turned volunteers, that the State bounty will not be punctually paid; 
and with my most strenuous attempts to convince them to the contrary, 
they still cling to the doubt. — "Show us the first man who has received 
the cash in hand, and we are ready." — Pardon me for annoying you 
with so long a letter. My only excuse is, the good cause demands it. 

In the firm and unwavering faith of a regenerated and more glori- 
ous Union, I am with respect and esteem. 

Your obedient servant, 

Isaac H. Boardman, Mayor. 

The governor under the same date answered as follows : — 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, Boston, Dec. 8th, 1863. 
His Honor Isaac H. Boardman, 
Mayor of Newburyport. 
Sir, — I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter 
of this day, and in reply to state that no recruit has any color of reason 
to distrust the good faith of Massachusetts. Many thousands of dollars 
have been paid from the treasury under tlie law of last spring, giving a 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1863. 149 

State bounty of fijty dollars, and the money now lies ready, to pay the 
recruits at General Deven's Camp, who go to the old regiments in the 
field as fast as they are mustered in and the papers can be prepared. 

The State Paymaster is under orders to visit the camp at Long 
Island every day for this purpose, and either to pay or assist in preparing 
the papers, as the case may be. 

Recruits sent to the camps at Readville and Worcester for new 
organizations will be paid as soon as companies are ready for muster. 
The United States Provost-Marshal-General, Col. J. B. Fry, has apprised 
me that soldiers now in the field, who re-enlist as veterans, will be duly 
credited to the quotas where they properly belong under the call of the 
President of October 17th. His declaration upon this point is explicit. 
There is, of course, no objection to the sending of an agent to stir up 
and promote re-enlistments in the regiments in the field, which should 
be encouraged in every possible way. 

I have the honor to be, 

Very respectfully, Mr. Maj'^or, 

Your obedient servant, 

John A. Andrew, 
Go vernor of Massachusetts. 

From the information communicated by the governor, that 
the provost-marshal-general had determined that all soldiers 
then in the field who should re-enlist would be credited to the 
quotas where they properly belonged, it was deemed inex- 
pedient to further comply with the order of the city council 
of December 7th. 

That the quota of the city might be filled as speedily as 
possible, and to prevent imposition upon those who might 
enlist, the mayor issued the following: — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Dec. 21st, 1863. 
To prevent illegal recruiting, notice is hereby given, that Lieuts. 
John W. Ricker, Samuel W. Haynes, John L. Perley, and D. C. Batch- 
elder, are the only authorized recruiting officers for this city, and 
information is earnestly requested to be given at this office of any en- 
listments made by other parties here; and it is also important that any 
resident of Newburyport who has enlisted or may enlist in any other 
city or town, should be at once reported. 

As earnest efforts are being made to induce the re-enlistment of our 
soldiers now in the field, all information on this point, with the names 
of all such who have re-enlisted or may hereafter re-enlist, which may 
come to the knowledge of our citizens, is respectfully solicited. 

Isaac H. Boardman, Mayor. 



150 NEWBURYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAE, 1863. 

COMPANY B, 40th REGIMENT NEW YORK INFANTRY (mOZART 
^_ regiment), credited to MASSACHUSETTS. 

The following order from the War Department to His 
Excellency Governor Andrew is self-explanatory : — 

War Department, 
Adjutant-General's Office, 
Washington, Aug. 10th, 1863. 
His Excellency 
The Governor of Massachusetts: 

The following companies of volunteers mustered into New York 
regiments are credited by enrollment to the State of Massachusetts; 
viz., Company B, 40th New York Volunteers. Strength, 101 men. 

Thomas M. Vincent, 

Assistant Adjutant-General. 

It is evident from the above order that the credit of the 
men from Newbiiryport attached to the "Mozart" Regiment, 
so called, was transferred from the State of New York to the 
State of Massachusetts, but I have failed to find that New- 
buryport received, as she should have done, credit for the 
men which belonged to her by the issuing of the order. That 
the order of August 10th was not rescinded is apparent from 
the following letter : — 

War Department, 
Adjutant-General's Office, 
Washington, Sept. 5th, 1879. 

On Aug. 20th, 1863, an exhibit rendered by the Adjutant-General, 
U. S. A., to the Provost-Marshal-General, U. S. A., which included the fol- 
lowing: — 

"The following companies of volunteers mustered into New York 
regiments are credited by enrollment to the State of Massachusetts: 
Company B, 40th New York Volunteers. Strength, 101. 

The above were mustered in during June, 1861. These credits were 
passed to the State of Massachusetts, and applied upon the quota of 
three years' troops called for from that State in 1861."

The mayor in his inaugural referred to the state of the 
country and the patriotism of the city as follows: — 

The rebellion which has now been upon us for nearly three years 
still continues. Would to God that I were able to predict its close! 
The necessity still exists for the faithful to be faithful still; and by a 
continuance of that strong and never-faltering step, I think it possible 
that we may, ere the year closes, be able to say that the rebellion is ended. 

Our sons, many of them, have laid down their lives in defence of 
that emblem of our nationality, the Stars and Stripes. I will here repeat 
what I have said on a former occasion, — that Newburyport was the 
first city of the State to vote to hoist the Union flag, and to keep it to 
the mast-head till the rebellion is ended; and I am proud to know that 
that beautiful flag is unfurled to the breeze over our heads this day. 

Newburyport was the first city to advance money from her treasury 
to send soldiers to the defence of the capital. From that day to this, 
she has voted with an open hand and a brave and a generous spirit; and 
so I trust she Avill continue to do, until every State is in subjection to the 
Constitution. Let us, if we are generous too of our acts, be so to our 
soldiers who have gone out to fight the enemy in this trying crisis of 
our beloved country. Let us see to the families and parents that many 
of them have left behind. Let us see that they are properly provided 
with the necessities of life. Do not let it be said that the wives and 
children and parents, or any of them, suffered by neglect of the city 
government of this, as loyal a city as there is in the United States. For 
my own part, if I err at all, I am determined that it shall be in favor 
of those of our citizens who are in the army fighting for us, and for the 
preservation of our LTnion, and for the dear ones they have left at home 
under our protection and care. 



NEWBUKYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 153 

By an order of the city council, the mayor and aldermen, 
with Councilmen Moses Pettingell, Jr., of Ward 1, Thomas C. 
Goodwin of Ward 2, John R. Stanwood of Ward 3, Charles 
M. Hodge of Ward 4, Thomas H. Cutter of Ward 5, and John 
Currier, 3d, of Ward 6, constituted the Relief Committee for 
the year. 

The quota of Newburyport for one hundred and seventeen 
(117) men, under the call of the President of Oct. 17th, 1863, 
for 300,000 troops, was full on the 5th inst. The mayor 
having informed the State authorities of the fact, Adjutant- 
General Schouler, in a letter dated January 11th, says, — 

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of }'our favor of the 9th 
inst., and congratulate you upon the success of your efforts in filling the 
quota of Newburyport. In answer to your inquiry I would say, that 
if you enlist more than your quota, the surplus should be, and I have no 
doubt would be, placed to your credit in any future call which may be 
made upon the Commonwealth for more men. 

Enlisting still continued, but it was not prosecuted with 
vigor, as it was doubtful whether the city would be credited 
with the men so furnished, and as under the last call no cred- 
its were obtained for the men previously recruited, though 
the city sent some twelve men to camp only the week before. 
The mayor on the 19th inst. addressed the following letter to 
the governor, asking official information concerning future 
enlistments : — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Jan. 19th, 1864. 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew: 

Sir, — I am directed by the city council to ascertain from you whether 
bounties will still continue to be paid to men enlisting in the United States 
service from Newburyport now that our quota is full, and whether any 
surplus of men tliat we may raise over the last quota ordered from this 
city will be accredited to us in case another call should be made by the 
President upon this Commonwealth for troops. If your answer should 
be in the affirmative, I should be pleased to have power granted me to 
continue to recruit men. 

Yours very truly, 

Geo. W. Jackmax, Jr., Mayor. 



154 NEWBUBYPORT IK THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

The governor, January 21st, transmitted a copy of General 
Order No. 4, dated Boston, January 19th. Paragraphs I. and 
II. read as follows: — 



" I. By General Order of the War Department, Series of 1864, a 
bounty of $400 will be paid to veterans who enlist or re-enlist under 
existing orders, and a bounty of $300 will be paid to raw recruits who 
enlist for any tliree years' organization, authorized by the War Depart- 
ment, either in service or in process of completion, until the first day 
of March, 1864. 

" II. Under the present arrangement of the War Department, towns 
and wards which have filled their quota under the present caU may go 
on and continue their enlistments, and their surplus men, so raised, 
will be credited to them under any future call." 

The governor advises all to take advantage of the present enthu- 
siasm for enlistment, and make it available. 

The State bounty wUl continue to be paid until "the public pro- 
mulgation of orders to the contrary." 



This order finally determined the question of surplus en- 
listments, and secured to the city the credit of a large number 
of re-enlisted men in excess of the last requisition. 

January I8th (Monday). An order of the city council 
directed "that the mayor present to the governor, John A. 
Andrew, a petition from this Board, asking the privilege of 
raising a company in this city and vicinity as a garrison to 
the new fort at the mouth of the river, and that his excellency 
authorize Lieuts. John W. Ricker and Wilham J. Creasey to 
recruit said company." In accordance with this order, the 
mayor wrote as follows: — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Jan. 19th, 1864. 
To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, 
Governor of Massachusetts : 

Sir, — I am directed by an order from the board of mayor and 
aldermen to petition your excellency to ask that you will if possible 
obtain permission from the War Department of the United States to 
have Lieuts. John W. Ricker and William J. Creasey appointed recruit- 
ing officers to raise a company of heavy artillery to garrison the fort 
now being built at the entrance of our harbor, said company to be raised 
in Newburyport and vicinity. I have no doubt but that a very efficient 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 155 

company can be raised by the officers above named for the purpose herein 
stated if your excellency will get permission for them to do so. 
Very truly yours, 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

To which the governor replied, — 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Executive Department, Boston, Jan. 21st, 1864. 
To His Honor Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., 
Mayor of Newburyport : 

Sir, — We having already twelve companies of heavy artillery on 
duty in Massachusetts, the War Department refuses permission for any 
more to be organized here, except upon the condition that they shall be 
paid no bounty wliatever by the United States, and shall not count upon 
the quota of the Commonwealth. 

Under these conditions the governor does not deem it expedient to 
undertake to raise any such additional companies, and therefore, when- 
ever the fort at Newburyport shall be in condition to receive a garrison, 
he will endeavor to arrange that it shaU be garrisoned by some of the 
heavy artillery troops already in service. 

I have the honor to remain, sir, 
Your obedient servant. 

By order of His Excellency the Governor, 

A. G. Browne, Jr., Lieut.-Col. Mil. Sec. 

On the evening of Monday the 18th inst., those members 
of Company H of the 32d Massachusetts Infantry residing in 
this city and vicinity who had re-enhsted and were enjoying 
their veteran furlough, together with those of the company 
who had been discharged, participated in a very happy re- 
union at the residence of Capt. Henry W. Moulton, their 
former company commander. During the evening frequent 
allusions to those who had fallen suggested the following 
resolutions, which were adopted: — 



Resolved, That while we hold this reunion joyously, and are grateful 
to God for bringing us in happiness together, after the perils of battle, 
suffering, exposure, and hardship; and while we anew consecrate our 
lives to the glorious cause of Freedom and Union, we cannot forget our 
dear comrades who have fallen in defence of the starry flag, and the 
nation it represents. Fragrant is the memory of these brave and noble 
souls, who with us "went marching on" in the defence of liberty, but 



156 NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

with us could not return. Sacred is each name, and hallowed in our 
recollection are their many soldierly virtues. As we write these mar- 
tyred names, fain would we honor their memory; but the record of their 
death in the cause of Freedom is their best epitaph: — 

Lieut. Joseph W. Wheelwright, died from exposure, Antietam cam- 
paign. 

William Niles, Georgetown, died from exposure, Antietam campaign. 

Corp. Rufus W. Chandler, Newburyport, died from exposure, An- 
tietam campaign. 

Benjamin W. Pingree, Georgetown, died from exposure, Antietam 
campaign. 

Phipps Sylvanus, Framingham, died from exposure at Antietam and 
Fredericksburg. 

Thomas P. Lunt, Newburyport, killed at Chancellorsville, Va. 

Sergt. Francis E. Winter, Georgetown, kUled at Fredericksburg. 

William D. Hudson, Framingham, killed at Gettysburg, Pa. 

Daniel Mahoney, Boston, died from exposure and hardship in the 
Antietam campaign. 

Resolved, That in the death of these patriot soldiers we sustained 
an irreparable loss; that while we mourn for ourselves, we would give 
to the relatives of the deceased our heartfelt sympathies, and ask them 
to take comfort in the truth, "He dies not in vain who dies for his country." 

The re-enlistment of a large number of soldiers in the 
field after the expiration of two years' service, and their re- 
turn home on veteran's furlough, prompted the mayor to 
issue the following request, that the city might have knowl- 
edge and receive credit for all men so re-enlisting : — 

City of Newburyport, 

Mayor's Office, Jan. 22d, 1864. 

AH soldiers of the Army of the United States, belonging to this city, 

who have re-enlisted in said service, are particularly requested to leave 

their names, and the number of the regiment and company to which 

they belong, with the city treasurer at City Hall, in order that the city 

may know the number of men she has now enlisted over and above the 

last quota ordered from this city. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

Previous to the call of Oct. 17th, 1863, for three hundred 
thousand three years' men, orders had been received from 
Washington that recruiting in the several States should be 
done through the district provost-marshals and such local 
agents as they might appoint. These agents were to receive 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18G4. 157 

twenty-five dollars for each veteran recruit, and fifteen dollars 
for each new recruit. The governor, by representations to the 
War Department, succeeded in so modifying this order as to 
have the quota of Massachusetts raised by the mayors of 
cities and selectmen of towns, and the twenty-five dollars and 
fifteen dollars allowed for recruits w^as to be used by them 
towards defraying the expenses of recruiting. 

By this change in the method of recruiting, Newburyport 
received from the United States and paid to its local recruiting 
officers from Oct. 17th, 1863, to July 19th, 1864, eleven hun- 
dred and fifty (1,150) dollars for eighty enlisted men, sixteen 
of whom w^ere at ten dollars, sixty-one at fifteen dollars, and 
three at twenty-five dollars. This bounty for recruiting, of 
twenty-five dollars for veterans and fifteen dollars for new 
recruits, was changed to fifteen and ten dollars on the 1st of 
February, 1864, and ceased entirely on the 19th of July, 
1864. 

Under date of February 1st the President issued an order 
calling for an additional number of men, to serve for three 
years or during the war, which reads as follows: — 

Executive Mansion, 
Washington, Feb. 1st, 1864. 
Ordered, That a draft of 500,000 men, to serve for tliree years or 
during the war, be made on the tenth day of March next, for the mili- 
tary service of the United States, crediting and deducting therefrom as 
many as may have been enhsted or drafted into the service prior to the 
first day of March and not heretofore credited. 

(Signed) Abraham Lincoln. 

The governor, by General Order No. 8, dated Boston, Feb, 
11th, 1864, stated the number of men to be furnished by the 
several cities and towns in the Commonwealth under the 
above call of the President for five hundred thousand (500,000) 
men, to be two hundred thousand, in addition to those called 
for Oct. 17th, 1863, and would be two-thirds as many as was 
assigned to them under that call. 

The quota of Massachusetts under this additional call of 
two hundred thousand (200,000) men was, ten thousand 



158 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

eighty-four (10,084), Of these seventy-eight (78) were to be 
furnished by Newburyport. This number was materially re- 
duced by the balance standing in our favor. February 15th, 
at a meeting of the city council, Mayor Jackman submitted 
the following recommendations regarding the filling of the 
city's quota: — 

City of Newburyport, Feb. 15th, 1864. 
Gentlemen of the City Government: 

The time is drawing to a close in which the cities and towns in this 
Commonwealth are allowed to raise their quota of men, under the last 
call of the President of the United States for 500,000 troops before the 
draft is ordered. 

The quota of this city under this call is 195 men. There were en- 
listed by Mayor Boardman, of this number, 105 men that have been 
accepted, so far as known; there have been enlisted under my direction, 14 
men; returned as re-enlisted in the 17th Regiment, 21 names; left at the 
city treasurer's office as re-enlisted, 7, making 147, — leaving 48 more to 
raise. Besides those named above, some of our men have re-enlisted 
from other regiments now in the field: the number I do not know, but I 
am doing all that I can to ascertain the precise nimiber. I have no doubt 
but that there are some 25 to 30 of them, at least, which would reduce 
our wants to some 25 men. 

I think that some inducements should be ofTered by the city, whereby 
the remaining number of men wanted can at once be obtained. I would 
therefore recommend that the city pay to any person or persons the 
sum of $25 for each veteran, and $15 for each raw recruit, that may be 
enlisted, and sworn into the service of the United States, and accredited 
to the city of Newburyport until such time as a sufficient number of 
men shall be obtained to fill our quota. 

I think, gentlemen, that our citizens will appreciate and fully indorse 
this course. For my own part, I feel that we should offer almost any 
inducement whereby we can obtain these men, rather than to have a 
draft made here; and I think that by such an offer as is named above, 
with the exertions of the members of the city council and those of our 
citizens who feel an interest in the welfare of our city and the preserva- 
tion of the Union, that the filling of our quota can be accomplished before 
the draft is ordered to take place. I would therefore recommend the 
passage of the accompanying order. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

The order submitted and adopted was as follows : — 

That the mayor be and hereby is authorized to offer a gratuity to 
any person or persons to the amount of twenty-five (25) dollars each for 



NEWBUEYPOKT IN THE CIVH. WAR, 1864. 159 

veterans, and fifteen (15) dollars each for raw recruits, in addition to 
the sum paid for recruiting by the United States, for such number of 
men as may be wanted to fill the quota of tliis city, under the last call 
of the President of the United States. 

In compliance with the above order, the mayor published 
the following in the Newburyport Herald of the 19th inst.: — 

City op Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, Feb. 18th, 1864. 
The undersigned will pay to any person or persons the sum of $25 
each for veteran soldiers, and $15 each for raw recruits, in addition to 
the sum paid by the United States, for the recruiting of a sufficient num- 
ber of men to fill the quota of this city, — some twenty-five or thirty 
being wanted for that purpose; said amounts being payable on presen- 
tation of a certificate from the adjutant-general of the Commonwealth 
that such men have been sworn into the military ser\ace of the United 
States, and have been credited to the city of Newburyport as a part of 
its quota. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Mayor. 

To fill the quota, the mayor with the committee on recruit- 
ing labored earnestly; and long before the time assigned for 
the draft, not only had the required number been enlisted, 
but a surplus remained to our credit. 



THE DRAFT OF APRIL, 1864- 

The following is an order by the President of the United 
States for an additional draft of two hundred thousand 
(200,000) men: — 

Executive Mansion, 
Washington, March 14th, 1864. 

In order to supply the force required to be drafted for the navy, and 
to provide an adequate reserve force for all contingencies, in addition 
to the 500,000 men called for Feb. 1st, 1864, the call is hereby made and 
draft ordered for 200,000 men for the military service of the Army, Navj', 
and Marine Corps of the United States. The proportional quotas for 
the different wards, towns, townships, precincts, or election districts, or 
counties, will be made known through the provost-marshal's bureau, and 
account will be taken of the credits and deficiencies of former quotas. 

The 15th day of April, 1864, is designated as the time up to which 
the numbers required from each ward of a city, town, etc., may be raised 



160 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

by voluntary enlistment, and drafts will be made in each ward of a city, 
town, etc., which shall not have filled the quotas assigned to it within 
the time designated for the number required to fiU said quota. 

The draft will be commenced as soon after the 15th of April as prac- 
ticable. The government bounties as now paid continue until April 1st, 
1864, at which time the additional bounties cease. On and after that 
date $100 bounty only will be paid, as provided by the Act approved 
July 22d, 1861. 

(Signed) 

Abraham Lincoln. 



The quota of Massachusetts under this call of the National 
Government was 10,639 men. There was a deficiency on the 
part of the State up to March 1st, 1864, amounting to 9,953 
men, making the total number to be furnished 20,592. 

The number required from the 5th Provost-Marshal Dis- 
trict was 907 men, deficiencies under previous calls to March 
1st, 1864, 525 men, making an aggregate of 1,432 to be fur- 
nished by the district. 

The demand upon Newburyport under the call was 84 
men, apportioned as follows: Ward One, 16; Ward Two, 13; 
Ward Three, 13; Ward Four, 14; Ward Five, 12; Ward Six, 
16. Under this call, March 14th, 1864, the enlistments in the 
United States Navy were allowed. Through the untiring 
energy and personal appeal of Governor Andrew, on the 4th 
of July, 1864, Congress passed an Act allowing credits to be 
given for naval enlistments and authorizing recruiting in dis- 
loyal States. The substance of this law will be found in the 
following letter addressed to each of the commissioners : — 

War Department, Provost-Marshal-General's Office, 
Washington, D.C, July 7th, 1864. 
His Excellency, John A. Andrew, 
Governor of Massachusetts: 

Sir, — Section 8, of the Act approved July 4th, 1864, further to reg- 
ulate and provide for the enrolling and calling out of the national forces, 
and for other purposes, is as follows: — 

"That all persons in the naval service of the United States, who 
have entered said service during the present rebellion, who have not 
been credited to the quota of any town, district, ward, or State, by reason 
of their being in said service and not enrolled prior to Feb. 24th, 1864, 
shall be credited to the quotas of the town, ward, district, or State in 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 161 

which they respectively reside, upon satisfactory proof of their residence 
made to the secretary of war." 

The secretary of war hereby appoints your excellency and Hon, 
John H. Clifford a commission to ascertain what credits the State of 
Massachusetts, and the different subdivisions of the State, are entitled 
to under the law given above. 

In determining this question, the secretary thinks it will be fair to 
presume that the State in which naval enlistments have been made, is 
entitled to the credit for those enlistments, unless it shall appear by 
more direct evidence that the credits belong elsewhere. The points of 
law to be observed in applj-ing the Act quoted will readily be percei^•ed 
by the commission. 

Major F. N. Clark, Acting Assistant Provost-Marshal-General for 
Massachusetts, will represent the United States. 

James B. Fry, Provost-Marshal-General. 



Under date of July 21st a circular letter was sent by the 
governor to the mayors of cities and selectmen of towns re- 
quiring them to return to Major William Rogers, Assistant 
Adjutant-General, on or before the 10th day of August, a 
sworn list of all persons residing within their municipalities, 
who had enlisted in the naval service of the United States 
during the rebellion previous to Feb. 24th, 1864, and who had 
not been credited to any town, district, or ward by reason of 
their being in said service. 

Municipal officers who had previously made complete and 
correct returns of such persons in the naval service, in re- 
sponse to a circular of the adjutant-general of the 31st of 
March, were not required to repeat the same, but an oppor- 
tunity was given to correct such returns if desired. 

As the bill did not pass until July 4th, and a draft was or- 
dered early in September, it was of the utmost importance 
that the naval credits due the State should be immediately 
ascertained and correctly apportioned. In order to do this, 
it was necessary to copy the muster-rolls on board the re- 
ceiving-ship Ohio at the Charlestown Navy Yard, and from 
them it was found that the total number of men who had 
enlisted from the 13th of April, 1861, to the 24th of Februar>', 
1864, was 22,360- 



162 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

The returns made in response to the circular of March 
31st and July 21st showed that the whole number of naval 
enlistments claimed by the cities and towns was 16,181, 
being 6,179 less than the number copied from the rolls of the 
receiving-ship. 

The instructions given by the commissioners to their 
clerks were: — 



First, To credit only those who had joined the service subsequent 
to the rebellion. 

Second, Only those who had joined the service at some rendezvous 
in the State. 

Third, When a man was claimed by two or more cities or towns, 
neither city or town was to receive the credit, but the credit in dispute 
was to be given to the State at large. 



As the enlistments were for one, two, and three years, the 
War Department, under date of Aug. 22d, 1864, directed that 
in the system of credits the conmiissioners be governed by 
the same rules as in credits for enlistment in the army. By 
this method only three years' men counted as a unit, it took 
three one year's men to count one, and three two years' men 
to count two. The total number of enlistments, when re- 
duced to a three years' term of service, was 16,625. The 
number of enlistments claimed by the cities and towns reduced 
to a three years' term of service, 9,020, leaving 7,605, which 
were distributed ipro rata to the credit of the cities and towns 
of the State. This method of allowing credits will readily 
account for the large number of men credited to our city in 
this branch of the service who were neither natives nor resi- 
dents of Newbury port; and the failure of the city to claim or 
successfully establish their title to those who were actually 
residents at the time of enlistment, is the cause of so many of 
our own citizens being credited to other cities and towns in 
the Commonwealth. 

April \st (Friday). By invitation of Capt. George Creasey, 
the officers of the 30th Massachusetts Infantry who had re- 
turned from Louisiana with the regiment, on veteran fur- 
lough, were entertained in the evening at the Ocean House. 



NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 163

2d Lieut, of Company A; Joseph Davis of Roxbury, 2d Lieut, 
of Company K; H. Warren Howe of Lowell, 2d Lieut, of 
Company B. With them were other invited guests, — His 
Honor the Mayor George W. Jackman, Jr., Col. Frederick J. 
Coffin of the 8th Regiment, the officers of the Cushing Guards, 
and City Cadets. 

April 15th (Friday). Louis D. B. Somerby of Companj- 
A, 48th Massachusetts Infantry, and later of Company M, 
2d Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, was buried from the Uni- 
versalist Church, Middle Street, this Friday afternoon. 

The services at the church were conducted by Rev. Wil- 
lard Spaulding of Salem, Rev. D. T. Fiske, D.D., and Chap- 
lain Samuel J. Spalding, of this city. The military escort 
was commanded by Capt. Luther Dame, and consisted of the 
City Cadets and members of Company A of the 48th Regi- 
ment formed as a battalion. 

April 17th (Sunday). The funeral of Alfred F. Lee of the 
2d Massachusetts Cavalry took place from the house where he 
resided, on Lime Street. 

Alfred F. Lee, son of John and Hannah (Colby) Lee, was 
born in Amesbury, Mass., Dec. 22d, 1837, and was by occupa- 
tion a blacksmith. At the time of his enlistment he was 
residing at Vallejo, Cal., and when an opportunity was given 
for those who emigrated from Massachusetts to enlist and 
serve for their native State, he was one of the first to offer. 
He enlisted at San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 10th, 1862, as one of 
the "California Hundred," and arrived at Camp Meigs 
Readville, Jan. 3d, 1863. This company, raised by Capt. J. 
Sewall Reed, was designated Company A, 2d Massachusetts 



164 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

Cavalry. He left Massachusetts with his company, Feb. 12th, 
1863. 

April 24th (Sunday). The Gushing Guards, Gapt. Stephen 
D. Gardiner, accompanied by the Mechanics' Brass Band of 
Amesbury, attended the funeral of Gorp. WilHam H. Daniels, 
one of its members. Gorporal Daniels was a native of Para- 
dise, N. S., but had resided in this city for many years pre- 
vious to the war. He was a member of Gompany A, Gushing 
Guards, 8th Regiment, during their nine months' service in 
North Garolina, and was one of those who accompanied the 
regiment to Maryland Heights and Harper's Ferry. He re- 
turned home with the company at the expiration of its service, 
suffering from change of climate, and finally passed away in 
consumption. 

April 2Sth (Thursday). At a meeting of the city council, 
Alderman Gurrier offered the following order, which was 
adopted: — 

That the mayor be and hereby is authorized to employ a suitable 
person at a fair compensation to make out a complete list of those per- 
sons who have enlisted in the army or the navy from this city since 
the commencement of the present Civil War, said list to state the date 
of discharge (if discharged), or, in case of decease, the date of death. 
It shall also be the duty of the person so employed to compare said list 
with the muster rolls of the different regiments at the State House in 
Boston, in order to ascertain whether the men so enlisted have been 
properly credited to the quota of the city of Newburyport. 

This order was never executed. Had it been acted upon, it 
would have provided the city with a complete and correct roll 
of all men furnished for the army and navy, and been a finan- 
cial saving to the city as well as a reliable military record of 
those who certainly deserved to be remembered in the future. 

May 2d (Monday). The Gity Gadets, Gapt. Luther Dame, 
designated in the State Militia as the 3d Unattached Gom- 
pany, having been ordered to report at Readville to-day, left 
the city on the eight o'clock morning train. They were ac- 
companied by the Portsmouth Gornet Band, and escorted by 
the city council and a delegation from the Veteran Artillery 
Association.

May 16th (Monday). The continued fighting of our arm- 
ies on their advance to Richmond, and the large number of 
wounded and suffering soldiers who were being daily sent to 
the hospitals from the battlefields, prompted our patriotic 
fellow-citizen Edward S. Moseley, Esq., to solicit contributions 
for their relief. In less than a week he collected $2,008.50, 
and in accordance with the wishes of the donors, $1,900 was 
forwarded to the Christian Commission, and the remainder to 
the Sanitary Commission. 

Mr. Moseley, in acknowledging the sums received, said 
that — 

The ordinary trouble attending the collection of money, even for 
benevolent purposes, has in this instance been entirely superseded; those 
who have subscribed having in most instances called for the purpose, 
and all having esteemed it a privilege to aid in relieving the sufferings 
of men who have periled their lives for the integrity of the Union.

June 1st. In anticipation of a call from the United States 
Government for troops to fill up the organizations in the 
field, General Order No. 17, dated Boston, May 31st, 1864, was 
issued, continuing as recruiting officers the chairman of the 
selectmen of towns and the mayors and aldermen of cities 
throughout the Commonwealth. The following order relating 
to the same subject was received from the District Provost- 
Marshal : — 



Provost-Marshal's Office, Fifth District Massachusetts, 

Salem, June 2d, 1864, 
To Hon. Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., 

Mayor of Newbury port : 

Sir, — I would most respectfully state that I have received orders 
to resume enlistment, and muster into the service of the United States 
such volunteers as may be offered at this office ; and inclose printed Gen- 
eral Instructions, etc. 

I am ordered to recognize selectmen of towns and mayors and alder- 



168 KEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

men of cities as recruiting agents, and none others, so that the business 
will be performed by responsible parties. 

Recruits will be mustered into the service of the United States by 
me, thereby securing a more simple manner of credit to the different 
sub-districts, and in all cases to be regarded as final. No other claim 
for expenditure on account of recruiting service (beyond the premiums) 
will be entertained. 

Very respectfully, 

Danl. H. Johnson, Jr., 
Captain and Provost-Marshal 5th District Massachusetts. 

At a meeting of the city council, Monday evening, June 6th, 
Mayor Jackman presented the following recommendations : — 

City of Newburyport. 
To THE City Council: 

Gentlemen, — Having received notices from the Adjutant-General of 
the Commonwealth, and from the Provost-Marshal of District No. 5, 
that in anticipation of another call for men by the United States Govern- 
ment, to fill up the regmients now in the field from this State, they are 
now ready to receive recruits for such call as may hereafter be made, 
and to accredit the same to the several towns and cities that may furnish 
them. 

I would therefore recommend that the city council offer such bounty 
as the State law recognizes (the same being $125) to any person who 
will enlist as a volunteer from this city, and who shall be accredited as 
one of its quota. 

The government allows a recruiting fee of $10 for raw recruits, and 
$15 for veterans, to be paid to the recruiting officer as soon as the recruit 
shall have been received at Gallop's Island, Boston Harbor. 

The State still continues their bounty of $300, which will also be 
paid to the recruit within the week that he shall arrive at Gallop's Island. 

The government also pay a bounty of $100 to each recruit, $25 of 
which will be paid on being mustered into the service, and the remaining 
$75 at the end of his term of enlistment. 

We have now accredited to the city 17 men, on the next call that 
may be made, and I have no doubt but that we shall have a much larger 
number to our credit when we get our rolls all made up; but be that as 
it may, I am very desirous, and confidentially trust, that we shall with 
proper care and diligence on our part, be able to furnish the men called 
for from this city, voluntarily between now and the time the draft may 
be ordered. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 169 

June 8th (Wednesday). Acting upon the suggestion of the 
city council, the mayor issued the following call for enlist- 
ments : — 

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE SEVERAL MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENTS 

NOW IN THE FIELD WANTED BY THE CITY OF 

NEWBURYPORT 

For which a bounty ^\all be paid by the city of $125.00 

Bounty to be paid by the State 325.00 

Bounty to be paid by the United States Government .... 100.00 

Making the sum of $550.00 

The city bounty will be paid immediately on presentation to the 
city treasurer of a certificate from the provost-marshal of this district, 
that the recruit has been mustered into the ser%ace of the United States, 
and accredited to the city of Newburyport. 

The State bounty will be paid to the recruit only within one week 
after his arrival at Gallop's Island, Boston Harbor. 

The government bounty, $25, will be paid before leaving the State, 
and the remaining $75 on the expiration of the term of enlistment. 

The recruit can rest assured that there will be no delay in the pay- 
ment of the city and State bounties. 

Recruiting offices are now open, — one at the city marshal's office, 
under the charge of Nehemiah Flanders; and one at No. 11 State Street, 
under the charge of Lieut. John W. Ricker. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 
Newburyport, June 8th, 1864. 

June 20th (Monday). John G. Dillingham of Company G, 
32d Massachusetts Infantry, was buried from the depot of the 
Newburyport Railroad at nine o'clock this evening, on the 
arrival of the train from Boston. The exercises were con- 
ducted by Rev. James N. Sykes of the Congress Street Bap- 
tist Church, and were most solemn and impressive. Mr. 
Dillingham was born in Searsport, Me., Sept. 20th, 1829, and 
was the son of William and Mary Dillingham. 

June 20th. At the meeting of the city council, the follow- 
ing order regarding the enrollment list was adopted: — 

" That a joint .special committee, consisting of the board of mayor 
and aldermen, and one member of the common council from each ward, 
be appointed to revise the enrolbnent list without delay, in order that 



170 NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

it may be in readiness when the anticipated draft for the month of July 
shall be put in force." In addition to the mayor and aldermen, Coun- 
cilmen William Forbes, Samuel A. Smith, Thomas C. Goodwin, Jolin 
Currier, 3d, Thomas H. Cutter, and Paul G. Lunt constituted the com- 
mittee. 

In May, 1864, the enrollment Act was amended by Con- 
gress, abolishing all the exemptions of the original Act be- 
cause of social relations, and consolidating the first and second 
classes, thus making all between the ages of twenty and forty- 
five years equally liable to the draft. The amendments which 
made this law so rigid were drawn up and recommended to 
Congress by a member of the Enrolling Board of this district, 
and very greatly diminished the chances of exemption for 
physical disability. The commutation clause was of no per- 
manent benefit to the person liable to draft, — it simply 
released him from a particular conscription: neither would the 
furnishing of a substitute, unless he be an alien, exempt the 
principal for three years. If the substitute be an able-bodied 
man of suitable age liable to military duty, the person fur- 
nishing such substitute was again liable when that particular 
enrollment was exhausted. If, again, the substitute be but 
eighteen years of age, the drafted man was exempt for but 
two years, at the end of which time the substitute having 
arrived at the age of twenty years, both he and the principal 
were liable. 

June 2Ath (Friday). In the Newburyport Herald the 
mayor publishes the following communication under the cap- 
tion of "How Shall We Escape the Draft?" — 

Mr. Editor, — The city of Newburyport should at once proceed to 
enlist men for the army and navy of our government. In what way are 
we to furnish our quota for the next call, which, without doubt, vAW 
be ordered immediately? We must do as well by the men who enlist 
as other towns and cities in the Commonwealth, or we cannot obtain 
them. I would like to know whether there is any class of our citizens 
that would like to have another draft made here? If there is, I wish 
they would make themselves known, and let the citizens at large know 
their Aaews upon the subject. 

The city council has offered all the bounty it has a right to under 
the State law. I notice in the Herald of Wednesday, that the town of 



NEWBDRYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18(54. 171 

Georgetown offers $625 for volunteers. Seventy dollars of that sum 
must be raised by subscription among her citizens. Cannot our rich 
and influential men come forward with their money and their influence 
in this cause, and show by their liberality that they do not want a draft 
here, but are willing to subscribe a sum of money, so that, with the other 
bounties offered by the government, State, and city, we may be able to 
offer men who will enlist from this city, as large a sum of money as they 
can obtain elsewhere? 

The War Department have decided that men must be credited to 
the town where their names appear on the muster roll; consequently, 
we are losing our men every day, for the want of funds to pay them what 
they can obtain in other places; and unless there is an effort made here 
on the part of our citizens to raise a fund in order that the city may be 
able to pay as high a bounty for men as other towns do, it will be impos- 
sible to enlist a single man here, and our men will have to be raised bv 
draft, which I shall very much regret. 

Yours very truly, 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor, 
June 23d, 1864. 

July Ath (Monday). By order of the city council the 
mayor caused the various church bells in the city to be rung 
one half-hour at sunrise, noon, and sunset, and a national 
salute to be fired at the same hours. 

July 5th. At a meeting of the city council, the following 
orders introduced by Alderman Greenough were adopted: — 

That the mayor be and hereby is authorized to hire a sum of money 
not exceeding twenty thousand (20,000) dollars to pay bounties to sol- 
diers to fill the quota of this city under the next call. 

That the mayor be requested to call a public meeting of the citi- 
zens of this city for the purpose of taking measures to raise the men 
likely to be called for by the President in the next call for troops to fill 
the quota of this city. 

At the same meeting the mayor laid before the board a 
communication from the General Recruiting Committee — 

That all money that may be raised in separate wards be kept for 
each separate ward as a AVard Fund imtil the quota for said wards are 
full, and the surplus of each ward shall be paid pro rata among the wards 
according to the number desired to make out their respective quotas, 
whose quotas are not full. 



172 NEWBUKYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

In conformity to the above order, the mayor through the 
Herald issued the following call: — 

City of Newburyport, 
Mayor's Office, July 7th, 1864. 
By a vote of the city council, I am directed to call a meeting of th« 
citizens for the purpose of consulting upon the most feasible plan to 
raise men for the quota of the city under the next call of the President. 

I do therefore request all legal voters to meet at the City Hall on 
Saturday evening next, 9th inst., at eight o'clock, for the purpose above 
named. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

The meeting in answer to this call was well attended and 
spirited. Mayor Jackman presided, and Albert W. Greenleaf, 
Esq., acted as secretary. After giving some valuable informa- 
tion regarding what had been done by the city in providing 
men and means, the chairman called upon those present to 
propose some plan by which the quota of Newburyport could 
be filled. On motion of Philip K. Hills, Esq., a committee, 
consisting of Philip K. Hills, Paul G. Lunt, Charles T. Smith, 
Richard Stone, William H. Huse, and Dr. Henry C. Perkins, 
was selected to prepare and present some plan of action. 
After remarks by Phihp K. Hills, Esq., Col. Eben F. Stone, 
and Capt. Henry W. Moulton, the meeting adjourned to 
Monday evening. 

July Wth (Monday). The citizens' meeting, held this even- 
ing by adjournment from Saturday evening last, was very 
large and interesting, the mayor presiding. The committee 
appointed at the previous meeting reported the following 
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: — 



Resolved, That in view of the critical situation of our national affairs, 
and of the moral certainty that a draft will soon be ordered by the gov- 
ernment, it is of primary importance that some scheme should be imme- 
diately organized whereby our fellow-citizens shall be reasonably secure 
against the risks and evils of a draft, and the city be enabled, promptly 
and honorably, to recognize and discharge its duties and responsibilities; 
therefore, 

Resolved, That the citizens of Newburyport do hereby resolve them- 
selves into an association, in the nature of a mutual insurance company, 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 173 

for their mutual protection, and do agree by individual contribution to 
raise a fund for the purpose of procuring substitutes and volunteers until 
the quota of the city is full. 

Resolved, That to secure the formation of this fund it is important 
that some authoritative expression of opinion should be had in regard 
to the minimum sum which it is the duty of every loj^al citizen to pay, 
trusting to the generosity and patriotism of every man to increase this 
sum when his means will admit ; therefore, it is decided that it is the duty 
of every citizen liable to a draft to contribute at least twenty (20) dollars, 
and that this contribution shall be regarded, not as a voluntary gift, 
but as the discharge of an obligation which cannot be honorably denied 
or repudiated. 

Resolved, That it is the duty of all loyal citizens to do all in their 
power to create a public sentiment which shall enforce and give effect 
to this scheme by making it discreditable for any man, whether liable 
to militarj^ duty or not, to refuse the payment of his just proportion of 
the general fund ; and to this end the Committee of Assessment and Col- 
lection shall publish, from time to time, the names of the contributors, 
with the amount subscribed by each. 

Resolved, That a Committee of Assessment and Collection be ap- 
pointed, consisting of the chairman and secretary of the meeting, with 
three men from each ward, whose duty it shall be to solicit and collect 
from the citizens of their respective wards their proportion of the gen- 
eral fund; and the payment so obtained shall, subject to the following 
conditions, be deposited with the city treasurer, to the credit of the re- 
spective wards, and subject to the order of the mayor and aldermen, 
who shall apply the same equitably, in such a manner as to protect the 
interests of the different wards in proportion to their respective contri- 
butions; and to secure this equitable distribution of the funds, it shall 
be the duty of the committee, before the money collected by them is 
deposited Avith the city treasurer, to agree with the Board of mayor and 
aldermen upon some plan of distribution which shall, in their opinion, 
adequately protect the interests of the different wards. And this com- 
mittee shall also make it a condition of their deposit that they shall be 
entitled, at any time, to inspect the books of the treasurer and ascertain 
how the money has been applied. 

Resolved, That the funds obtained by this scheme shall be applied 
exclusively to the payment of bounties to volunteers or substitutes; and 
no part of the same shall be expended in the cost of advertisements or 
music, or other incidental expenses. 

Resolved, That as an inducement to encourage the most liberal do- 
nations on the part of our citizens, it is expedient to provide that each 
contributor, in case of being personally drafted, shall have the right 
to draw from the general fund double the amount he has paid in, pro- 
vided the condition of the treasury will justify such a draft, and the 
amount thereof does not exceed the bounty offered by the city for a 



174 NEWBUEYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

volunteer; otherwise, pro rata. And it is expedient further to provide 
that any subscriber who has paid a sum not less than the minimum shall 
have the right of drawing from the treasury the amount paid as a bounty 
to volunteers, if he shall furnish a substitute or representative recruit. 

The committee to carry out the above program in their 
several wards was as follows : — 

Ward 1. Moses Pettingell, Jr., B. Gardiner Gerrish, and Rufus 
Adams. 

Ward 2. Charles M. Bayley, William B. Currier, and Richard Plumer. 

Ward 3. Warren Currier, Da^^d J. Adams, and Amos Noyes. 

Ward 4. Eben F. Stone, William Forbes, and Jolin R. Longfellow. 

Ward 5. Charles H. Coffin, Albert W. Stevens, and William P. 
Jones. 

Ward 6. John D. Pike, Moses A. Currier, and Moses H. Fowler. 

General Order No. 24 from the adjutant-general's office, 
dated Boston, July 6th, 1864, stated that 5,000 infantry volun- 
teers had been called for from Massachusetts, for one hun- 
dred days' service in the fortifications near the city of Wash- 
ington; that the services of the men were required at once, 
and ordering the officers in command of regiments and com- 
panies of Massachusetts militia to immediately perfect their 
organizations and report for orders. The order further 
stated that in addition to the United States pay each non- 
commissioned officer and private would receive from the Com- 
monwealth twenty (20) dollars per month during his term of 
service, also that volunteers under this call would be exempted 
from any draft that might be ordered during such term of one 
hundred days' service. In compliance with this order, Capt. 
Stephen D. Gardiner of the Gushing Guards, July 7th, published 
the following order: — 

In response to General Order No. 24, every member of Company 
A, Gushing Guards, 8th Regiment M. V. M., is requested to report at 
the armory. No. 12 Hale's Court, at eight o'clock this p.m., to take meas- 
ures for immediately recruiting the corps for one hundred days' service 
in the forts around Washington. It is hoped that every member will 
readily respond and use his utmost endeavor to fill up the corps. . . . 

Stephen D. Gardiner, Captain. 



NEWBUEYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 175 

July ISih. At a special meeting of the city council, an 
order was adopted authorizing the mayor to hire a sum of 
money sufficient to pay to each private and non-commissioned 
officer of Company A, 8th Massachusetts Regiment, Gushing 
Guards, twenty dollars, until such time as they shall receive 
their allotment from the State. 

An order was also adopted authorizing the mayor to em- 
ploy a suitable person or persons to ascertain the names of 
all those enrolled in this city who have attained the age of 
forty-five years, and also all aliens, and take such steps as 
may be necessary to have their names stricken from the list. 

July 18th (Monday). A call for 500,000 men by the 
President of the United States. 

A PROCLAMATION, 

Whereas, By an Act approved July 6th, 1864, it is provided that the 
President of the United States may call for any number of men as volun- 
teers, for the respective terms of one, two, and three years for military 
service, and that in case the quota or any part thereof of any town, town- 
ship, ward of a city, precinct, or election district, or of a county not so 
subdivided, shall not be filled within fifty days after such call, the Presi- 
dent shall immediately order a draft for one year, to fill such quota or 
any part thereof which may be unfilled, and 

Whereas, The new enrollment heretofore ordered is so far completed 
as that the aforementioned Act may now be put in operation for recruit- 
ing and keeping up the strength of the armies in the field, for garrisons 
and such military operations as may be required for the purpose of sup- 
pressing the rebellion and restoring the authority of the United States 
in the insurgent States, 

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, 
do issue tliis my call for five hundred thousand volunteers for military 
service, provided, nevertheless, that all credits that may be established 
under section eight of aforesaid Act, on account of persons who have 
entered the naval service during the present rebellion, and by credits 
for men furnished to military service in excess of calls heretofore made 
for volunteers, will be accepted under the call for one, two, or three years 
as they may elect, and will be entitled to the bounty provided by law 
for the period of service for which they enlist, and I hereby proclaim, 
order, and direct that immediately after the fifth of September, being 
fifty days from the date of this call, a draft for troops to serve for one 
year shall be held in every town, township, ward of a city, precinct, 
election district, or as a county not so subdivided to fill the quota which 



176 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 



1864. 



shaU be assigned to it under this caU or any part hereof which may be 
unfilled by volunteers on the said fifth day of September, 1864. 

(Signed) Abraham Lincoln. 

By the President, 

Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State. 

Washington, July ISth, 1864. 

The demand upon the State under this call was for 21,670 
men; the number to be furnished by the 5th District, 2,123 
men- the quota assigned to Newburyport was for Ward One, 
43; Ward Two, 31; Ward Three, 30; Ward Four, 32; Ward 
Five, 30; Ward Six, 35; Total, 201 men. 

July I9th. The Gushing Guards, Company A of the 8th 
Regiment, having recruited to the maximum number, under

The 60th Infantry, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, was 
mustered into service July, 1864, at Readville, Mass., and left 
the State August 1st. It v^as ordered to Indianapohs, Ind., 
where it remained, doing guard duty until the expiration of 
its term. It was mustered out Nov. 30th, 1864. None of those 
who served in the one hundred days' mihtia organizations 
were credited to the quota of the State, consequently the 
enlistro.ents in the above companies did not count on the 
quota of the city. 

Juhj 23d. The mayor, in behalf of the Assessment and 
Collection Committee, made the following appeal through the 
Herald : — 

THE LAST APPEAL. 

The only partial success of the efforts of the Citizens' Committee 
thus far to obtain a fund for the purchase of recruits, has induced them 
to make the followinfj; statement. The quota of the city under the pre- 
vious call for 500,000 men was 306. The credits which the city will 
probably have allowed, including those from the navy, will amount to 
about 100. Assuming, therefore, that the quota in this case will be 
about the same as before, the city, under the present call, will have to 
raise about 200 men. The committee think that they are warranted 



178 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 18G4. 

in saying that, if a fund of $25,000 can be formed, the required number 
of men can be secured. The amount now subscribed is about $11,000 
by persons liable to military dut}', very few of this class refusing to sub- 
scribe their proportion of $20 or upwards. What is needed is a more 
generous contribution from those persons who are exempt from a draft, 
and unless it be possible to persuade them to increase their contributions, 
the draft cannot be avoided. 

Certainly, loyal men, whose rights and property are at stake, will 
not insist that it is the duty exclusively of those who are liable to a draft 
to protect themselves, without looking for aid and support from those 
of their fellow-citizens who, though largely interested in the integrity 
of the government, by reason of age are exempt from military duty. 
Neither can it be reasonably objected that this money should be raised 
by a tax, since the entire power to assess and enforce a tax for this pur- 
pose is limited by law to a bountj'^ of $125, which has already been ex- 
hausted. If the amount needed in addition to the bounty of $125 be 
raised at all, it must be done by the voluntary act of the citizens. There 
is not, under the law, any compulsory power. 

The committee would suggest, that if those not liable to a draft 
will subscribe a sum not less than one-fourth of their annual city tax, 
the sum required to meet tliis exigency can be raised without any diffi- 
culty, and that, too, -wdthout any injustice or inequality. If it be under- 
stood that a subscription upon this principle will supply the amount 
needed, and will be considered a full discharge of every man's duty in 
the premises, every man who is desirous of doing his share can easily 
determine what that is. This suggestion is made in no spirit of dicta- 
tion, but in the hope that something, in this way, may be done towards 
removing certain obstacles in the way of an equal subscription. 

Whatever is done must be done quickly. Already the neighboring 
towns, by superior diligence, and by means of a plan similar to the one 
adopted by us, have obtained their full quotas. It is to be hoped that 
we shall succeed in avoiding a draft. But we can only do it by display- 
ing an activity and spirit of generous loyalty commensurate with the 
occasion. 

By order of the committee, 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Chairman. 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
Headquarters, Boston, July 14th, 1864. 
General Order No. 27. 

By an Act of Congress passed the fourth day of July, 1SG4, it is en- 
acted that it shall be lawful for the executive of any of the States to 
send recruiting agents into any of the States declared to be in rebellion, 
except Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana, to recruit volunteers, who 
shall be credited to the State which may procure the enlistment, and to 
the respective subdivisions thereof. . . 



NEWBDRYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 179 

It is ordered . . . That "Representative Recruits" may be obtained 
through the provost-marshal by persons making the deposit of one hun- 
dred and twenty-five dollars for each recruit required. . . . 

By order of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor and Com- 
mander-in-Chief. 

William Schouler, 

A djutant-General. 

July 25th (Monday). At a special meeting of the city 
council, the following order was adopted: "That the mayor be 
and is hereby authorized to deposit with the treasurer of the 
Commonwealth the sum of $6,250.00, in accordance with 
General Order No. 27, for the purpose of procuring recruits 
to be passed to the credit of the quota of the city of New- 
buryport." 

July 30th (Sunday). A union meeting of the several con- 
gregations of this city was held at the North Church this 
evening in aid of the suffering Union refugees who are being 
brought to Cairo, 111., in great numbers. The meeting was 
largely attended, and was addressed by Rev. E. Fulsom, 
Hospital Chaplain at Cairo, who was traveling under special 
orders from the Department Commander. The collection in 
money amounted to $70.80, and pledges from Charles H. 
Coffin of $100; the Prospect Street Sabbath School, by their 
superintendent, Capt. Charles M. Bailey, $100; individual 
pledges, $114, — making a total of $385.80. 

$450 FOR ONE YEAR VOLUNTEERS. 

The city of Newburyport will pay for volunteers to fill up its 

quota for the last call $250.00 

State bounty 100 00 

Government bounty 100 00 

Making the sum of $450.00 

Besides monthly pay $16 192 OO 

Clothing 42.00 

Making the handsome sum of $684.00 

Besides board of recruit, and State aid to his family for one year's 
service. ... 

Now is the time for those to enlist who are desirous to serve their 
country for one year, and to be well paid for their time. The bounties 



180 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

offered alone exceed any ever paid for the term of one year, by any city 
or town in the State, and is better pay — including board and State aid 
— than can be earned by most of our best mechanics. 

Bounties $684.00 

52 weeks' board, say at $3 per week 156.00 

State aid to family of three U4:.00 

Amounting for one year's service $984.00 

I trust that the very liberal bounty here offered by the city, together 
with the Government and State bounties offered, will induce a sufficient 
number to come forward at once and fill the quota of the city. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 
Newburyport, Aug. 1st, 1864. 

The amount of real estate assessed in 1864 $3,268,700 

Of personal estate 3,425,000 

Total $6,693,700 

The rate of taxation was the same as in 1863, or $14 on the $1,000, 
and is as follows : 

Tax on real estate $45,761.80 

Tax on personal estate 47,950.00 

Pollsat$2 __5,056^ 

Total $98,767.80 

The number of polls 2,528, which is 180 more than in 1863. 

By the above it will be seen that the real estate valuation is $220,000 
more than last year, and the personal estate $30,000 in excess of last 
year, notwithstanding the exemption of a large amount of property in- 
vested in banks and manufacturing companies taxed by the State, and 
the very large number of national bonds held by our citizens, which are 
entirely free from taxation. 

August 5th. The City Cadets having served their hundred 
days, returned from Winter Island to-day. They marched 
through the principal streets of the city in the afternoon, 
accompanied by Hall's Band of Boston. A warm reception 
was given them at the City Hall, where a collation was pre- 
pared and a large company of friends assembled to bid them 
welcome. 

At the city council meeting this evening, the mayor laid 
before the board a return of those persons who have enlisted 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 181 

in the navy of the United States from this city since the 
19th day of April, 1861, which was signed by the mayor and 
aldermen as required by law, and ordered to be transmitted 
to the adjutant-general of the Commonwealth. 

August 23d. The Citizens' Committee to obtain funds for 
the purchasing of recruits pubUshed the following in the

40th New York (Mozart) Regiment, and others, who had 
returned from active duty in the field, so that nearly one 
hundred soldiers were assembled. 

The City Hall, where they gathered, was tastefully deco- 
rated with flags and bunting, and crowded with a large con- 
course of citizens, who were anxious to testify their appre- 
ciation of the services of those whose patriotism had prompted 
them to renew their enlistment, and continue to battle for 
justice and right. From the City Hall they were accompanied 
by Hall's Brass Band of Boston to the Ocean House, where 
with invited guests they sat down to a sumptuous dinner. 
After all were seated, William E. Currier, Esq., who acted as 
chairman, welcomed the veterans in the following address: — 



. Veteran Soldiers of Company A, 17th Regiment 

Massachusetts Volunteers : 

Your early associates in arms, and a few of your numerous friends 
in this city, have assembled here to greet and welcome you on your tem- 
porary sojourn to the hearthstones of youthful days. We welcome you 
to the home of virtue, truth, and love, — the place of all the world the 
best, the spot more dear than all the rest. We are here to express our 
appreciation of your patriotism and valor, and to say to you, The people 
of the city honor you ; the State is proud to own you ; and the nation will 
reward you; for you have come from the battlefield with victories on 
your banners and glory on your shields. 

You have been engaged in a righteous cause, and for more than three 
years you have dwelt on the tented field, fighting your country's battles; 
you have made forced marches, and given battle to the enemy; and your 
victories at Whitehall, New Berne, Kinston, and Goldsboro have won for 
you imperishable honor. 

Three and a half years of war has brought the enemy to narrow 
limits; and the late victories of Sherman in the South, Sheridan in the 
valley of the Shenandoah, and Grant in Virginia, have circumscribed 
their boundaries, and tell you that the power of the enemy is fast fading 
away. Their forces concentrated at Richmond are now being met; and 
as God rules the armies and governs the destinies of men, the legions 
are to be scattered, their capital is to fall, and victory on victory ex- 
tinguish the rebellion, when peace shall again reign throughout the length 
and breadth of our glorious Union, and the Stars and Stripes wave over 
all the countrj-^ which we possessed in 1860. 

Again I say. Welcome! welcome to the banquet provided for you 
as a token of our love. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 183 

Following the dinner, speeches were made by George J. 
L. Colby, Esq., Moody D. Cook, Lieut. Joseph W. Stevens, 
and George E. Van Moll, of the 26th New York Cavalry, 
Isaac Hale, Jr., and Lieut. John W. Ricker, of the 48th. 

The ceremonies of the day were concluded with a prome- 
nade concert and dance at the City Hall, where the brave 
sons and daughters enjoyed themselves until admonished by 
the flight of time to return to their homes. 

The following is a list of those who re-enlisted in Company 
A, 17th Massachusetts Infantry, credited to Newbury port, 
and who returned on veteran furlough : — 

Ahern, Thomas. Lewis, Andrew P. 

Austin, Albert F. Lynch, Daniel. 

Burke, John. Marshall, William W. 

Cook, Albert J. Marshall, James I. 

Dillingham, Aretus H. Purtell, Richard.

DwYER, Daniel J. Templeton, Andrew. 

Dwyer, Dennis. Tilton, Andrew J. 

Ford, Samuel J. Watson, Martin. 

Keeser, Samuel, Jr. Woodwell, Caleb S. 
Young, Elisha, Jr. 

October 28th. The mayor, as chairman of the committee 
to raise a fund for the providing of substitutes, issued the 
following notice to those who were dehnquent in the payment 
of their subscriptions : — 

All those persons who subscribed to the fund for the purpose of 
filling the last quota of men from this city for the army of the United 
States, that have not paid their subscription, are particularly called upon 
to pay the same immediately either to the committee, or directly to Daniel 
Granger, City Treasurer, who will receive and receipt for the same. 

It is very desirous that this money should be paid in, in order that 
the matter relating thereto may be settled up. 

There will be another call at once for more men, and arrangements 
should be made, as it now can be, to enlist men enough to cover the next 
call. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., 

Chairman of Committee. 

October Zlst (Monday). At a special meeting of the city 
council, the following order was adopted : — 



184 NEWBURYPORT m THE CIVIL WAR, 1864. 

That the mayor be and hereby is authorized to hire a sufficient sum 
of money to obtain one hundred and twenty-five recruits to put into 
the service of the United States and to be credited to this city, provided 
that the sum so raised shaU not exceed $125 for each and every man so 
recruited. 



This appropriation of $125 per man for recruits is all the 
city could legally appropriate under the laws of the Common- 
wealth, and it was expected that the balance necessary to 
increase the amount to $200 would be raised by subscription 
among the citizens. 

November 3d (Thursday). The City Cadets and citizens 
held a meeting this evening to take measures for a public 
reception of the Cushing Guards, of the 60th Massachusetts 
Infantry, on their return from Indianapolis, Ind. The fol- 
lowing were selected as a committee of arrangements: Capt. 
Luther Dame, George W. Knight, Jr., Robert G. Sargent, Charles 
H. Goodwin, Joseph H. Walton, Joseph A. Frothingham, Jr., 
Albert C. Titcomb, and Asa Merrill. 

November 7th (Monday). That the citizens might be in- 
formed regarding their subscription for the raising of recruits 
for this city, the mayor published the following in the Herald 
of this date: — 

There has been great inquiry of late to know what has become of 
the funds subscribed by our citizens for raising men to fill the quota of 
the city. I would say that $6,500 of the amount paid in was expended 
in procuring men, tliat $4,200 more remains in the treasurer's hands, 
and that there is about $1,500 now uncollected, which should be paid 
in at once, in order that more men may be enlisted towards filling the 
next quota. A further sum of $3,500 is necessary, together with the 
amount now in the bands of the treasurer, and the balance due upon 
the first subscription, to clear the city from another draft of 500,000 
men which vnll undoubtedly be called for immediately. I trust that 
those citizens who have not paid their subscription will do so at once, 
and that a new subscription will be started to raise the amount neces- 
sary to fill our next quota. This is important, more so than on the last 
call, as the men can now be had at a reasonable price, but when the call 
is made it will be difficult to obtain men except at a high cost. 

Geo. W. Jackman, Jr., Mmjor.

The city government for 1865 was organized Monday, 
January 2d. The mayor in his address referred to the rebeUion 
as follows : — 

The state of the country is such at this time, that it calls upon every 
loyal person to lend his aid and influence to the executive of the govern- 
ment for the suppression of this rebellion, and the restoration of those 
rights which our fathers fought for, and which they desired should be the 
inheritance of their children. Many of our sons have laid do^vn their 
lives for the love of their country, and their ashes now lie buried beneath 
the sod of what was once our beloved and sister States. There are about 
our streets those who show the evidence of their valor and courage, those 
who for a love of country periled their lives in its support. They are 
the ones! the wounded soldiers, more than any others, who should be 
respected and exalted for the part which they have taken in the suppres- 
sion of this war, and their endeavors to hold inviolate our national rights . 
To such let us extend a welcome hand, and render to them and to theirs 
such assistance as their circumstances require, — not that assistance 
which will make them paupers, or deprive them of their rights of suffrage, 
but by a fund created directly by the city council, and placed in the 
hands of the committee on relief, for their benefit. 

It is well known to all of you that we have at this time hundreds 
of our valuable citizens in the army and navj^, determined at all hazards 
to maintain the honor and integrity of our flag, and to sustain the powers 
that be, and to uphold the institutions of the nation and sustain the 
government. These men have and are still nobly representing our city, 
on the sea and in the field: their courage has been often tried and never 
found wanting, and by their valuable and patriotic services have won 
for themselves and for us a lasting honor, and have brought us under 
the greatest obligations to them. 

At the commencement of this rebellion Newbur3rport showed her 
devotion to those men who first took up their line of march to the battle" 
field, by appropriating from her treasury a sum of money for the relief 
of the families of those who so A'aliantly buckled on their armor, and 
she has so continued to do to the present time; and I trust that that 
liberal feeling will not be forgotten by the present city council. 

The ladies of our city, who are never behind in any good object or 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 189 

cause, have kindly lent their aid in raising funds, which have and are 
to be expended for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers. The Soldiers' 
Aid Society has done much for their relief in the way of necessary cloth- 
ing, medicines, luxuries, and other needful articles, which have been 
forwarded to them. The fair of the society last winter, and the one re- 
cently held, were crowned with that success which they deserved. The 
ladies composing the society, and others who have lent their aid towards 
so good and charitable an object, should, and I dare say will, receive 
the thanks and heartfelt gratitude of many of our sick and destitute 
soldiers, as well as those of our citizens. 

The recent presidential election held in November last, shows con- 
clusiveh^ that the people of the loyal States are determined that this 
war shall be continued until the people of every State now in revolt lay 
down their arms and ask for peace. This is the doctrine under the pres- 
ent circumstances that every loyal citizen, man, woman, and child, should 
adopt. 

January \&th (Monday). At the regular meeting of the 
city council a Joint Special Committee on Soldiers' Relief was 
appointed, consisting of the mayor and aldermen, and Council- 
men Dodge, Burrill, Talbot, Adams, Jackman, and Clement, 
for the year ensuing. 

February Qth (Monday). At a meeting of the city council, 
an order introduced by Councilman Jackman was adopted — 

That the sum of $.500 be placed to tlie credit of the Committee on 
Relief for their disposal to such disabled persons who have served in the 
army and navy during the present rebellion, or to their families, who 
in the judgment of said committee are destitute and deserving of such 
aid, or to any other person or persons of that class that the committee 
shall deem expedient to assist. 

At the same meeting Councilman Dodge offered the follow- 
ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by both 
branches of the city government: — 

Whereas, The State Aid Society in the city of Xewburyport having 
proved of great value to those who are now in the Army of the United 
States, therefore. 

Resolved, That tlie tlianks of the city council in behalf of the city 
be and are hereby tendered to the ladies of Newburyport for the many 
blessings which, through their patient and protracted exertions, have 
gladdened many a heart, and bestowed many comforts upon the soldier 
in the field, as well as to those wounded and sick in the several hospitals.

Alderman William Balch offered the following order, which 
was adopted : — 

Whereas, All the quotas of men to recruit the armies of the United 
States in pursuance of the several calls of the President, and assigned to 
this city, have been filled, and 

Whereas, It is probable that other calls for more men will be made, 
it is ordered, that the mayor be, and hereby is, instructed to enlist in 
the armies of the United States, all the men he can, and that he be, and 
hereby is, authorized to pay each and every man he shall enlist a sum 
not exceeding $125 until otherwise ordered. 

Alderman Balch also introduced the following, which was 
adopted : — 

That our Representatives in General Court be, and hereby are, in- 
structed to use their best exertions to procure the repeal of the statute 
limiting the bounty to $125, which may be paid to the substitutes of 
drafted men, for recruiting the armies of the United States, and to make 
their best effort for the enactment of a law authorizing toTvns and cities 
to raise by taxation of property or by loan all moneys necessary for this 
purpose, and to pay each and every man enlisted in the armies of the 
United States, such a sum as they shall deem expedient, and that the 
city clerk be. and hereby is, instructed to furnish each of our representa- 
tives with a copy of this order immediately after its passage.

rang out the glad tidings, the pubUc schools were dismissed, 
guns were fired, and all classes rejoiced and seemed happy 
together, in the thought that the rebellion was soon to end, 
and peace be declared. , „t t ^ 

Avril 9th (Sunday). The funeral of Sergt. Joseph W. Lunt 
of Company A, 35th Massachusetts Infantry, took place at 
the residence of his father, Mr. Joseph J. Lunt, No. 10 Dove 
Street, this afternoon. The services, conducted by Rev. 
Daniel P. Pike, were solemn and impressive. He feehngly 
alluded to the noble character of the deceased; how with 
others he was captured and confined in Southern prisons, and 
finally his release and return home to die. A detachment of 
the City Cadets did escort duty. The Deluge Fire Associa- 
tion of which the deceased was a member, and many others 
from the Fire Department, with a large number of comrades 
of his company and regiment, were present. The flags m the 
city were at half-mast, and the bells tolled, announcing the 
close of another life, the departure of a true patriot whose 
life was freely given for the cause he loved. 

THE SURRENDER OF LEe's ARMY. 

Sunday evening, about ten o'clock, the glorious news of 
the surrender of Lee's army to Lieutenant-General Grant was 
announced by telegraph. Very soon State Street, the Herald 
office, and the Telegraph Office were thronged with an excited 
crowd The bells rang out the joyful news, until at twelve 
o'clock the rejoicing by old and young was general and con.- 
plete. Cannons roared, and "the rockets' red glare gave 
proof through the night that our flag was still there ;' build- 
ings were illuminated, and the thousands of people who had 
assembled sang and cheered until morning dawned. During 
the day a procession was formed, consisting of the City Cadets

NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 193 

to Lieutenant-General Grant by Secretary of War Stanton: 
"Thanks be to Almighty God for the great victory with which 
he has this day crowned you and the gallant armies under 
your command. The thanks of this Department and of the 
government and of the people of the United States, their 
reverence and honor, have been deserved, and will be ren- 
dered to you and the brave and gallant officers and soldiers 
of your army for all time." 

DEATH OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. 

April 16th (Sunday). This morning was received the sad 
intelligence of the death, by the hand of an assassin, of our 
noble-hearted President, Abraham Lincoln. Scarcely had the 
glad tidings of great joy — the fall of Richmond, the sur- 
render of Lee, and the end of the rebellion — been received, 
before the nation was called to mourn for the Great Chief 
Magistrate, who had fought a good fight, who had bravely 
and honestly fulfilled his mission, and who had seen the suc- 
cessful end of his work. Most of the churches of the city 
were draped in mourning, and there was not a pulpit from 
which there was not some allusion made to the great national 
bereavement. At the Whitefield Church the morning service 
was entirely devoted to the topic, and addresses were made 
by the pastor. Rev. Dr. Spalding, Rev. Dr. Withington of 
Newbury, and Professor Smythe of Andover Seminary. 

MEETING OF THE CITIZENS.

Monday afternoon, called to see what should be done to 
properly observe the day of the funeral of the late President, 
and show respect to the memory of the deceased. Col. Eben 
F. Stone was chosen chairman, and Mr. Nathan A. Moulton

ter in charge, consisting of His Honor the Mayor George W. 
Jackman, Jr., Hon. Isaac H. Boardman, Charles H. Coffin, 
Esq., Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, D. D., Edward S. Moseley, 
Esq., and Col. Eben F. Stone.

RESOLUTIONS BY THE CITY GOVERNMENT. 

At a meeting of the city council held Monday evening, 
the mayor and aldermen, by a rising vote, passed the follow- 
ing resolutions relating to the death of President Lincoln, 
presented by Alderman Currier: — 

Whereas, In the Providence of God our beloved and honored Presi- 
dent, the Chief Magistrate of the United States, departed this life April 
15th by the hand of violence, therefore 

Resolved, That in the death of Abraham Lincoln the nation has lost, 
in its chief executive officer, a man of sterling integrity and worth, of 
strong and implicit faith in freedom and in the justness of our causej 
and also one who was an able statesman and patriot, which the events 
of the last few years have fully tested. 

Resolved, That in this hour of our national sorrow the greatness 
of our loss, if not expressed in words, is evinced by the unspoken and 
unutterable language of the heart; and tears of our loyal countrymen 
show how truly he was loved by them. 

Resolved, That we thank God for the noble work our loved and 
honored President was permitted to do for the nation, guiding it with 
great sagacity and skUl through the most difficult epoch of its existence. 
Resolved, That of the acts which our late President performed, none 
of them holds a higher place in our hearts than the Proclamation of 
Emancipation, which will give him a place in his country's fame beside 
that of the immortal Washington, and entitle him to the gratitude of 
all lovers of liberty. 

Resolved, That as a proper mark of respect the City Hall be draped 
in mourning for the period of thirty days, and that his honor the mayor 
order all public offices to be closed, and request the entire suspension 
of business on the part of the citizens, on the day of the funeral. 

Resolved, That in accordance with the wish expressed by the acting 
secretary of State, the mayor request the citizens to meet at their re- 
spective places of worship during the hours of 12 m. and 2 p.m. 

An order was adopted, authorizing the mayor to cause the 
bells of the city to be tolled and minute guns to be fired 
Wednesday the 19th, the day of the funeral of our late

The bells of the city Avill be tolled from 12 to I o'clock. 

George W. Jackman, Jr., Mayor. 

April 19th (Wednesday). The day was exceedingly fine, 
and the public buildings, churches, and dwelhngs were every- 
where draped in mourning. Great taste was displayed in 
the mourning emblems, as at the Engine Houses, American 
Telegraph Office, the Headquarters of the Fenian Brother- 
hood, Gillett's Express Office, and the stores of G. I. Williams, 
Joseph Moulton, Richard Plumer, Solomon & Levy, N. B. 
Lake, Nathan A. Moulton, William H. Johnson, Samuel A. 
Smith, and Miss Abbie Lane; also the residences of Joshua 
Hale, David Wood, Charles H. Coffin, Jacob Stone, Jacob 
Horton, Mica j ah Lunt, Mrs. John Wills, Miss Wheelwright; 
Joshua Aubin, Norman C. Greenough, R. H. Richardson, 
Hiram Wood, Eben Wheelwright, Mark Haskell, Caleb Gush- 
ing, John Osgood, George Lunt, and others on High Street; 
Josiah Little, Henry P. Toppan, and Dr. Stephen Gale on 
State Street; William H. Brewster on Summer Street; Edward 
Lesley on Market Street; Robert Bay ley on Milk Street; John 
Porter, Mark Symonds, Henry Cook, and Mrs. Robert Bayley 
on Federal Street; Charles M. Bayley on Purchase Street; 
Messrs. Wilson on Strong Street, and very many others. 
In fact, there was scarcely a dwelling in the city that was 
not in some way decorated with the emblems of mourning. 

At noon the bells were tolled, and all the churches in the 
city opened with the exception of the Universalist and St. 
Paul's (Episcopal), the pastors of which were absent. At the 
Catholic Church, prayer was offered by Rev. Father Lennon, 
and remarks by Rev. Mr. Hammil. At the Belleville Church, 
Rev. Dr. Fiske officiated; at the Unitarian, Rev. Jonathan 



196 NEWBUKYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAK, 1865. 

Cole; at the Oldtown, Rev. Dr. Leonard Withington and 
Rev. John R. Thurston; at the Advent, Rev. John Pearson; 
at the Prospect Street, Rev. Randolph Campbell; at the 
Liberty Street, Rev. Leroy S. Brewster. 

At three o'clock, the services, arranged by the mayor and 
a committee of clergymen, commenced at the Pleasant Street 
Church. All the seats were occupied, and hundreds were 
unable to gain admission. The exercises consisted of (1) 
Voluntary on the organ; (2) Reading of Scriptures by Rev. 
Daniel T. Fiske, D.D., of Belleville; (3) Chant; (4) Prayer 
by Rev. Randolph Campbell of the Prospect Street Church; 
(5) Hymn; (6) Address by Rev. S. J. Spalding, D.D., of the 
Whitefield Church, and Rev. Richard H. Richardson of the 
First Presbyterian Church, Federal Street; (7) Hymn; (8) 
Prayer by Rev. James N. Sykes of the Congress Street Church; 
(9) Benediction by Rev. Daniel P. Pike of the Court Street 
Church. 

The services were not only of the highest character, but 
solemn and deeply impressive, and the mourning of the people 
at the loss of so great and so good a man as President Lincoln 
was deep and sincere. 



THE CLERGYMEN OF NEWBURYPORT TO THE PRESIDENT. 

To His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United 

States of America: 

Sir, — The undersigned, ministers of the gospel of different denomi- 
nations in this city, ask permission respectfully to represent to you: 

That we deeply sympathize with our government, and especially 
with yourself and with the coimtry at large in the sudden and tragical 
death of Abraham Lincoln, late President of these United States. 

That we hereby express our sentiments of respect towards yourself, 
and our confidence that under the good Providence of God, and guided 
by the wisdom which he generously bestows, you will prove yourself 
equal to the duties of your high and responsible office and to the emer- 
gencies which may arise under your administration. 

That with our eyes upon the unparalleled atrocities of the rebellion 
— now, thank God, in process of being crushed — we fully accept that 
declaration of Holy Scripture relating to the rightful authority of "the 
ruler," — "He beareth not the sword in vain, for he is the minister of God, 
a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil;" and that therefore 



NEWBURYPOET IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 197 

treason against the civil State being the greatest of crimes, justice, both 
divine and human, and our national safety, and the laws by which our 
government is administered, unitedly and imperatively demand the 
inflexible and fearless pimishment of treason without respect of persons: 
in which duty may the just Lord give you help, as in his Holy Word he 
hath also given you authority — (see Paul's Epistle to the Romans, 
chapter xiii., verses 1 to 4). 

That we pledge our continued and fervent prayers to Almighty God 
for you, that he will be graciously pleased to preserve your valuable 
life and the lives of your members of cabinet ; sustain you under your 
weighty and solemn responsibiUties to him and to this nation; that he 
will grant to you and your constitutional advisers his continued and 
merciful guidance in the passing crisis, and that he will give you success 
and prosperity in your administration, and the high and momentous 
concerns of our coimtry ; and that we will devoutly and imceasingly pray, 
God save the Peesident and the People of the United States of 
America. 

With sentiments of high respect we are, sir, your obedient servants,

NAVY DURING THE WAR, BY THE CITY GOVERNMENT 

AND CITIZENS. 

It was determined by the city government and citizens 
generally, to celebrate the anniversary of the nation's inde- 
pendence, and at the same time invite the returned soldiers 
and sailors who went from the city during the war to become 
their guests, — to participate in the procession, and to be 
formally received by the mayor at a dinner prepared for 
them by the ladies at City Hall. 

The exercises for the day began with the ringing of bells 
and the firing of a national salute of thirty-six guns at sun- 
rise.

This department of the parade was composed of the vet- 
erans of the war, representing those of the army and navy 
who went from our city from the commencement of hostilities 
in April, 1861, until the final surrender in April, 1865. The 
various regiments and companies in which the men served, 
and the vessels and squadrons to which those of the navy 
were attached, were designated by a small guidon. Every 
branch and department of the service was represented: the 
army by cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and the navy by 
officers and men who had done faithful duty on the old-time 
battleships and the modern gunboats and monitors. Many 
suffering from wounds and disabled in the service rode in 
carriages. One from the navy, Lewis A. Horton, who had 
lost both arms in action, sat by the side of a representative 
of the army, Daniel O' Grady of the 28th Massachusetts Infan-

200 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

This part of the procession was particularly beautiful, and 
suggestive of the great struggle from which the country had 
at that time but just emerged, and the joy and happiness ex- 
pressed by all the people that peace had come and the coun- 
try again united. The most striking tableaus presented were, 
"Army and Navy," "The Zouaves," "Daughter of the Regi- 
ment," "The Mantle of St. John De Matha," "Faith, Hope, 
and Charity," "Innocence," "The Pleiades," "Soldiers of 
1776 and 1865," "America's Grief," "Liberty," "Thirty-six 
States," "Peace." 

The street decorations were beautiful. At the head of 
State Street was a triumphal arch spanning the street, with 
the mottoes, "Reunion To-day and the Union Forever," 
"The States — distinct as the billows, but one like the sea:" 
at the foot of State Street another grand arch with the mottoes, 
"Our Defence, the breed of the people, stout and warlike," 
"Our Greatest Treasures — the Heroes of War of '61."

At the conclusion of the exercises at the church, the city 
government, invited guests, and soldiers and sailors, were 
escorted to the City Hall, over the door of which was an arch 
bidding "Welcome, thrice welcome, every veteran here." The 
interior of the hall was beautifully decorated with flags, ever- 
greens, and mottoes. On entering, the veterans passed be- 
neath an evergreen arch, on which were the names of Grant, 
Sherman, and Farragut; and on the front of the gallery be- 
neath, "A laurel wreath to the victors now, and a place in 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 201 

our grateful hearts forever," Immediately over the door was 
suspended a large laurel wreath, under which every veteran 
walked in entering the hall. Opposite the entrance, over the 
rostrum, were three arches conjoined, inscribed, "Oiu* Great- 
est National Debt, — Gratitude to Our Defenders." Upon 
the walls tastefully arranged were the names of many battles 
in which the soldiers and the sailors from the city had partic- 
ipated. From the rostrum, on entering, the veterans were 
greeted by more than a hundred of the fairest ladies of the 
city, who had volunteered to wait upon the tables. Between 
seven and eight hundred participated in the dinner. Mayor 
George W. Jackman, Jr., presided, and welcomed the veterans 
as follows : — 

Gentlemen of the Armt and Navy here assembled: 

It becomes my very pleasant duty to welcome you home, and tender 
to you, one and all, the hospitalities of the city. We are aware of the 
many hardships and dangers through which you have passed during 
the last four years; and for myself, the city coimcU, and the citizens gen- 
erally, I tender you our warmest and most sincere regards for the honor 
which your valor and daring have so nobly won for yourselves, and for 
the city you represent. We can but feel proud of the men who have 
represented this city in the army and navy in the late rebellion, — men 
who left their pleasant homes for the love of their country, and to de- 
fend the noblest flag that ever floated over any nation, — an emblem 
of a nationality of which every American citizen throughout the land 
should be proud. The blow struck at that flag on Fort Sumter forever 
dishonored and blasted those traitors performing the act, and all others 
who have supported or given coimtenance to the act since. May they 
all meet the fate they so richly deserve I And, further, it has forever, 
I trust, wiped slavery — that cherished institution of the South — from 
the land, — the one thing which has caused more trouble to the free 
States, more anxiety to those who fostered it, and more expense to the 
government, than any other matter under the Constitution. 

It has been my privilege, whether for the best or not, to preside 
over the destiny of the city most of the time during the rebellion, and 
I have at all times and on all occasions done what I considered to be 
right and proper to maintain the honor of the city, in providing men 
and means to sustain the army and navy, and to support the Constitu- 
tion of the United States, and to sustain the administration. It has 
also been my aim at all times, and upon all occasions, to render all need- 
ful assistance to the families of those of our citizens who are or have 
been in the service fighting for us and ours, in order that they should 



202 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

be as comfortably provided for as the circumstances of the case would 
admit; and I trust that I have done in this matter that which has met 
the approval of the soldiers and sailors, as well as our citizens. There 
has always been a willingness on the part of the city council to vote 
money and render other aid to enable me to furnish the requisite number 
of men to fill our quotas under the various calls of the President, between 
1,200 and 1,300 men for the army and navy; and I feel proud to say, 
that on the breaking-up of the rebellion I had twenty-seven men ahead 
of all demands made upon us. 

I will take this occasion to say, that at home or abroad, whenever 
I have met any of you, I have ever been treated with that courtesy and 
kindness which my position required, which is ever characteristic of the 
true soldier and sailor; and for this mark of respect I tender you one 
and all here present, and to your comrades in arms who have not had 
the good fortune to arrive home (which I much regret, as I hoped to 
have the honor to meet all who are alive, on this occasion), my warmest 
regards and kindest feelings for the courteous treatment which I have 
ever received at your hands. Gentlemen, before closing my remarks, 
I wish to remind the company present that this bountiful repast was 
provided by the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society, who cannot be excelled 
in their success in promoting the comfort and welfare of the soldier, and 
in making home cheerful with their graces and smiles; and many of you, 
I dare say, have partaken of the sweets and comforts which they have 
from time to time forwarded to the battlefields and to the hospitals dur- 
ing the past four years. And now, gentlemen, they are. here to welcome 
you, and to wait upon you, with their smiUng and beautiful faces; and 
I know that your presence here gladdens their hearts, and they bid you 
welcome on your joyous return, praying that health, happiness, and a 
long life may be your reward for the troubles and toils through which 
you have passed. 

Rev. Daniel T. Fiske invoked a blessing. After the dinner 
the mayor introduced Philip K. Hills, Esq., as toast-master, 
who presented the following : — 

"The Day We Celebrate. Doubly dear to us as the 
anniversary of our nation's birth, and as the commencement 
of a new era in its history. The valor of our soldiers and the 
wisdom of our statesmen have made the country a unit, so 
to continue henceforth and forever." Responded to by Rev. 
J. C. White, Rector of St. Paul's Church. 

"The President op the United States." Responded to 
by George J. L. Colby, editor of the Newburyport Herald. 

"The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Worthy of 
our love and devotion for the noble ideas of human liberty 



NEWBTJRYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 203 

she has promulgated, and of the noble men who have rallied 
to their support and estabUshment." Responded to by Capt. 
Henry W. Moulton of the 32d Massachusetts Infantry. 

"The Orator of the Day. His fitly spoken words en- 
title him to confidence as a faithful sentinel on the poUtical 
outworks." Responded to by Dr. George B. Loring of Salem. 

"The Western Army. They won the first great victory 
of the war at Fort Donelson, nor were checked in their trium- 
phant march until they reached the sea, nor in their northern 
movement until the 'anaconda' had caught in its folds the 
last rebel corps in the Atlantic States. Their brilUant achieve- 
ments have no parallel in the history of war." Rev. Isaac 
S. Cushman, Chaplain of the 33d Massachusetts Infantry, 
responded. 

"The Home Guards. Though serving in the loyal States, 
they were ready and willing to share the dangers of the field 
whenever ordered." Responded to by Lieut. Joseph L. John- 
son of the Gushing Guards, 8th and 60th Regiment, M. V. M. 

"Our Escort, — the Veteran Artillery Association. They 
preserve the name of the oldest military corps in the Com- 
monwealth. The fame of its founders in the Revolution is 
safe in its present keeping." Capt. WilUam E. Currier of the 
veterans responded, 

"The Reader of the Declaration of Independence. 
He adorns the profession by which New England impresses 
herself upon the nation." Responded to by Mr. Albert 
Hale. 

"Our Martyred President and the Other Fallen 
Heroes in this Four Years' Conflict with Rebellion. 
By every heart let their memories be tenderly cherished." 
Drank standing and in silence. 

"The City of Newburyport. She has a record in all 
our wars for freedom, of which our posterity will be proud." 
Alderman Warren Currier responded. 

"The Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society. Our quota of the 
heroines of the war. They have never failed in any call for 
assistance from camp, hospital, or field. In contemplating 
their labors 'we are lost in wonder, love, and praise.'" Re- 



204 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

sponded to by Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Spalding, formerly Chaplain 
of the 48th Regiment Infantry, M. V. M. 

"The Army of the Gulf. The names of New Orleans, 
Baton Rouge, Donaldsonville, and Port Hudson are on their 
banners, and make for them an honorable record of which 
they may justly feel proud." Col. Eben F. Stone of the 48th 
Regiment Infantry, M. V. M., responded. 

"The Navy. To them belonged the pleasing duty of re- 
storing the Stars and Stripes in nearly every State. Upon 
the rivers and the sea they have acted worthy of the navies 
of 1776 and 1812." Henry Bartlet, Acting M. Mate U. S. N., 
and Ex-Alderman Thomas Huse responded, 

"The Gallant Defenders of the Capital in 1861. 
Called from their homes and peaceful pursuits at a moment's 
notice, they did the work of veterans, and for their prompt- 
ness and patriotism they will ever have the kindly remem- 
brance of their country." Responded to by Major Ben: 
Perley Poore, formerly Major of the 8th Regiment Infantry, 
M. V. M. 

"The Army of the Potomac. They met the first wave 
of insurrection, and continued through the battles of the 
Peninsula, Fredericksburg, Antietam, Gettysburg, and the 
Wilderness, till they rolled back the insurgent host to 'the 
last ditch,' and there buried treason too deep for a resurrec- 
tion in this age." Responded to by Capt. George W. Creasey 
of the 35th Massachusetts Infantry, and Lieut. Edwin F. 
Stover of the 40th New York Infantry (Mozart). 

"The Army of the Carolinas. They made the first in- 
vasion of the rebel States, and from Cape Hatteras to the fall 
of Charleston neither slumbered nor slept forgetful of their 
duty. We welcome home the protectors of the Constitution 
in the old North State, and the victors over treason in the 
cradle of the RebelHon." Responded to by Col. F. J. Coffin 
of the 8th Regiment Infantry, M. V. M., and Lieut. William 
J. Creasey of the 23d Regiment Massachusetts Infantry. 

"The Irish Brigade. The brave sons of foreign parent- 
age, who do not forget the land of their birth nor love for 
the land of their adoption. They have given to our country 



NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 205 

'names that were not born to die.'" There being no one to 
respond, George J. L. Colby spoke of the services of the Irish 
Brigade during the war. 

"The Army of the James. The men who bore the heat 
and burden of the day, and were in at its close. The bloody 
fields of Virginia attest their valor." Responded to by Sergt. 
Edward L. Davenport of Company I, 23d Regiment Massa- 
chusetts Infantry. 

NEWBURYPORT WOMEN IN THE WAR. 

The record of Newburyport during the war would certainly 
be incomplete if we fail to remember with gratitude the earn- 
est devotion and noble sacrifices of the women of our city 
who so generously contributed of their time, their labor, and 
their money to the comfort of the soldiers in the hospitals 
and camps, from the early days of the war to its ending in 
1865. 

soldiers' aid society. 

The first organized society for preparing and sending ar- 
ticles to the soldiers in the field was known as the Soldiers' 
Aid Society. Early in the summer of 1861, Mrs. Samuel 
Pettingell, who resided on Bromfield Street, feeling a deep 
interest in the soldiers, suggested to some of her friends the 
plan of meeting frequently and working for their benefit. 
The plan was acceptable, and on Tuesday evening of each 
week the band of workers gathered at a house designated at 
the previous meeting. The gatherings were very popular, 
and continually increased in attendance and material results. 
Boxes and barrels containing bandages, lint, towels, delicacies, 
and other articles useful in hospitals, were sent in various 
directions to the sick and wounded, while stockings and ar- 
ticles of comfort were forwarded direct to the soldiers in the 
field. For months the good work was continued. 

soldiers' relief association. 

Aiigust 14th, 1862. Nearly five hundred ladies responded 
to a call for a meeting for the purpose of organizing an asso- 



206 NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

ciation to benefit the sick and wounded soldiers. For tem- 
porary organization Mrs. John Buntin was selected as chair- 
man, and Miss Caroline E. Perkins secretary. The following 
resolutions were adopted : — 

Resolved, That in view of the many sufferings and privations which 
our sick and wounded countrymen in the field are called upon to encounter^ 
we, the women of Newburyport, now pledge ourselves to form a society 
called the Soldiers' Relief Association, whose duty it shall be to forward 
articles for their comfort; and that the existence of this society shall 
terminate only with the day when peace is declared. 

Resolved, That we will do all in our power to make this organiza- 
tion a vigorous and successful one, sparing no pains, shrinking from no 
sacrifices of time and money; feeling as we earnestly do that our efforts 
can never thoroughly repay the offering of life and health which our fathers, 
sons, and brothers are so heartily making. 

Resolved, That while we will thus sacrifice all the time and means 
in our power, we will nerve our hearts to the higher and nobler sacrifice 
of those near to us for the nation's good; esteeming even our kindred 
less dear than that fatherland which has blessed us with imcounted 
privileges and a glorious history. 

A constitution was adopted, declaring the purpose of the 
association to be to assist the sick and wounded soldiers of 
the United States service; that any person could become a 
member by paying an annual tax of twenty-five cents, and 
that the officers consist of a President, a Treasurer, Secretary 
and Assistant Secretary, with an Executive Committee of two 
ladies from each ward in the city. 

The following officers were selected to serve for one year: — 

President, Mrs. John C, March. Vice-Presidents, Mrs. George 
W. Jackman, Jr., Mrs. Eben Hale, Mrs. Artemas B. Muzzey, 
Mrs. William Horton, Mrs. John Porter, Mrs. Edward S.

210 NEWBUEYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAK, 1865. 

"In this last report of our association we wish to give an 
account to our friends, who have so liberally sustained us, 
of the way in which the large sums intrusted to us have been 
expended. In consequence of the sudden termination of the 
war, urgent calls from the hospitals ended in May last. Since 
that time we have sent but two boxes. The past year thirty- 
five boxes have been sent, as follows: To United States Gen- 
eral Hospital, Annapolis, Md., 13; Sanitary Commission, 8; 
Christian Commission, 6; Massachusetts Soldiers' Rehef Asso- 
ciation, Washington, D.C., 4; General Hospital, Beverly, N.J., 
3; Beaufort, S.C, 1; Discharged Soldiers' Home, 1. 

"The whole number of boxes sent since the organization of 
the society, Aug. 14th, 1862, to July 28th, 1865, 159, containing 
the following articles: 3,222 cotton shirts, 1,589 flannel shirts, 
2,522 woolen socks, 781 pairs drawers, 286 dressing-gowns, 
2,700 bandages, 5,258 handkerchiefs, 3,160 towels, 562 pairs 
of slippers, 1,666 comfort bags, 1,120 packages farina and 
maizena, 1,359 boxes condensed milk, cocoa, and broma, 238 
pounds sugar and tea, 1,031 bottles wine and jellies, 287 bottles 
cologne and bay water. Given to individual soldiers belong- 
ing to this city, 20 flannel shirts, 11 cotton shirts, 10 pairs 
drawers, 32 handkerchiefs and towels, 5 dressing-gowns, 3 
pairs slippers, 3 comfort bags. 

"The women of this city, in common with all the patriotic 
women of the North, would have continued their labors, even 
if those labors had involved self-sacrifice and privations such 
as they never yet have known, so long as our noble soldiers 
were periling their lives for them on land and water. In clos- 
ing this report we wish to express our gratitude to those 
constant, untiring friends of our society who have so gener- 
ously sustained us. When the estimate is made, as we believe 
it will be, of the amount of supplies sent through the various 
agencies to the sick and wounded soldiers during the war, 
we think the record of Newburyport will show that the energy 
and self-sacrifice of her women is only equaled by the liberality 
of her patriotic men." 

For the Executive Committee, 

Agnes A. Aubin, Recording Secretary. 
Mrs. John Buntin, Treasurer, 



NEWBTJRYPORT m THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 211 

The money value of the articles sent to the hospitals by 
the noble women of our city during the war can hardly be 
estimated in dollars and cents, and assuredly not if we con- 
sider their earnest devotion and unquestioned loyalty to 
the cause for which they labored so long and so patiently. 
Adjutant-General Schouler, in his History of the Civil War in 
Massachusetts, in recounting the work of the Newburyport 
Soldiers' Relief Association, says, "At the close of the war 
they had furnished in articles and in money for the sick and 
wounded to the value of thirty thousand dollars."

DESCRIPTION BY CAPTAIN LAWRENCE W. BROWN OF THE 

CAPTURE OP THE SHIP SONORA BY THE ALABAMA, 

CAPTAIN SEMMES. 

In March, 1863, we were on the berth in New York with the ship 
Sonora of Newburyport, loading for Melbourne with a general cargo; 
finished loading and sailed; had forty-five passengers. On third day at 
sea, when about six hundred miles from New York, discovered four 
stowaways, all soldiers, deserters from some regiment or regiments that 
had been on the way "to the front," but changed their minds and became 
tolerable good sailors. We arrived in good time at our destined port. 



214 NEWBTJRYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

After a time there, we took some cargo and two hundred and ninety 
Chinese passengers on board, and sailed for Hong Kong; made the passage 
in forty-six days, and landed all hands in good order. On arriving we 
found about twenty-five American ships at anchor, aU snug ^ith light 
masts and yards sent down, crews discharged, and having the appear- 
ance of a siege. On making inquiries we found that a strange steamer 
had put in her appearance in the China Seas, and the ship Contest, laden 
with a valuable cargo, had been captured, plundered, and burned, said 
steamer being the Akibama, and said to be a Confederate States priva- 
teer- therefore there had not been an American ship sail from Hong 
Kong for several weeks, and ours the first arrival for some time. As 
we were not on a voyage of discovery looking for privateers, and had a 
charter to proceed to Akyab, British India, and load rice for Europe, 
we remained in port ten days, and saUed for Akyab; touched at Singa- 
pore and landed one hundred Chinese passengers, among which were 
twenty girls. At Singapore we fell in with a fleet of fifteen to twenty 
American ships, aU in the same predicament as the Hong Kong fleet; 
paid off white crew, and shipped colored men; these men were part of 
the crew of Contest, who were landed at Batavia, and sent up to bmga- 
pore care of U. S. Consul. In five or six days we were up and at it again; 
saUed on through Malacca Straits toward Akyab. On the 26th of De- 
cember in 3° N , 103° E., at 6 a.m. a steamer was m sight, coming up 
astern, 'steering for us. Mter a short time I saw she was flying a blue 
British ensign, and had a large number of men on board, and I was qmte 
satisfied she was the Alabama, and we were to have a mormng call from 
the great brave (?) individual "Semmes," and expected a great circus 
was to be our day's entertainment, — and it certainly was so. 

When the steamer arrived quite near on our starboard beam some 
three or four boats were launched, filled with men and officers, and came 
alongside. We had made aU preparations to receive them. An officer 
came up, and addressed me from the raU,-I was on the house, - 
asked me ship's name, where from, where bound, and where she belonged. 
In a certain way he was answered. He said we were a pnze to the Con- 
federate steamer Alabama, pointing to her, and he was the pnze master. 
I asked for his name, and invited him to come on board. He came up. 
I went down in the cabin, and he foUowed me. We had quite an inter- 
view, and a goodly time was passed, he aU of the time advising me to 
go at once to "the steamer with my papers," etc. 

In the meantime a gang were loading their boats with provisions, 
with which we were well suppUed, and best quality, a great haul for them. 
Fourteen colored men and ten white boys were placed in one of our boats, 
and set adrift, with notice, or orders, to keep away from the steamer. 
Two colored men and my two officers - Isaac N. Colby, 1st officer, 
and Bradford Swap, 2d officer, both Newburypori) men -were then 
ordered into our quarter-boat and told to puU to the steamer, which they 
did A lot of these steamer people were preparing to set fire to the ship ; 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 215 

others, officers included, were plundering the ship's cabin; and with dis- 
putes among these fellows, as to whom such and such a thing belonged, 
each one having claimed they saw it first, the whole affair was of rather 
a ridiculous, undignified nature, it seeming to me that they could not 
have any discipline on board the steamer from which they had pounced 
down upon us; and had we been captured in the China Seas, or up through 
the Malacca Straits, by Chinese or Malay pirates, we might have ex- 
pected about the same treatment as we were getting from these repre- 
sentatives of the Southern Confederacy. 

I had been told by this fellow "Armstrong," the prize officer, that 
the ship would be burned; and more than three times did he tell me 
that I was getting myself in trouble by not going to the steamer at once. 
However, after all of our people had gone, and the torch all ready to 
apply to the kindlings, of tar, oil, etc., an officer told me to go with him 
in his boat to the steamer, which I did. We were but a few moments in 
the boat before arrivmg at the port side of the steamer, outside of three 
or four boats which were being discharged of the spoils which this crowd 
of two hundred and twenty-eight people had scooped so early in the 
morning. After getting on deck I noticed this chap had hauled down 
the British ensign and hoisted what they called the Confederate naval 
colors. To me the conditions of my surroundings looked like poor dis- 
cipline and an awful dirty vessel. Some ten or fifteen tons of coals were 
lying on deck amidships, men standing about in groups, and some lying 
about the decks. I did not walk aft, although I saw and recognized 
the bold (?) navigator Semmes near the mizzen-rigging, but passed for- 
ward on port side, looked at the gvms, bow-chaser, thence aft on star- 
board side, no one having spoken to me, only when a tall, shabbily dressed 
fellow spoke as we came alongside, and said, "Captain, you can come up." 
I merely answered by saying, "That is what I came here to do." My 
boat was then with the two white and two black men towing at his stem. 
Crossing the deck to port side well aft, a lanky, tall, cheaply dressed 
individual approached me, with an extended hand, and said, "Good- 
morning, Captain Brown." I did not give him my hand, — "the hand 
of Douglas is his own." He looked at me, probably feeUng msulted, 
and asked me if I would go down in his cabin. I said I would be pleased 
to do so. He went below, I followed; had a fine chance to kick him 
downstairs — but didn't. I was not invited to be seated. He asked 
my ship's name. I threw my papers on the table, abaft of which he 
stood, while I stood facing him. He gazed at me, put his glasses on, 
picked up the big envelope, which contained Register and Crew List, 
opened the Register, looked at me, sort of sizing me up, and said, "Sonora, 
she belongs to our enemy. I'll burn her!" I answered, "I don't care 
if you do. She is well insured in London." —"Where are you from?" 

"New York." — "Where?" — "New York, via Melbourne and Hong 

Kong." — "Where are you bound?" — "That is just what I would like 
to know. You say you will bum her, and she was all ready to be set 



216 NEWBUBYPOKT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

fire to when I left her. How do I know what comes next?" The fel- 
low became a little enraged, took a good view of me, and then asked 
"where I was boimd?" — "To Akyab." Other such questions just as 
foolish were put to me, all answered in a most pleasing and polite manner. 
"Of what does your cargo consist?" I could only laugh at him, and 
answer, "Sand!" He moved from his position, and yelled, "I want no 
comments, sir! what is your cargo?" I tried to bristle up a little on a 
different tack, and not as pleasantly told him "I was master of a ship 
myself an hour since, and always knew how to treat my callers and my 
passengers;" no comments had been made but by himself, etc. He 
asked "if I had any money about me?" I then made up my mind he 
was either a confounded fool or a consummate scoundrel. We were 
all young fellows, and not really easily scared. An officer, his clerk, 
was all this time sitting at the table, no others in sight of us. I had a 
little more to say, and then awaited the result. He handed my papers 
to the clerk, and he left the cabin. Then this Semmes said to me, "Now, 
sir," — I took a seat, expecting my sentence, — "I'll give you your 
choice. You may remain with me eight or ten days, and at the end 
of that time I will set you down wherever I happen to be, or you may 
go in your boat!" — "What about my crew?" — "Those niggers are 
going in their boat!" — "My officers?" — "Are going with your niggers.'' 
I said, "If those men and officers, that belong to me, and I to them, 
are to be set adrift here in those boats, your ship is no place for me; my 
duty is not here. I will go with them, and whatever they may have to 
go through, I vriUingly will share it with them. They have served me 
faithfully, and I will never desert from them." He said, "You will 
have no charts." I answered, "I do not want any." — "No books or 
nautical instruments of any kind." I again said, "I do not want them; 
they will be of no use to me here in an open boat, and I will not leave 
my people under any circumstances. I know my duty." 

He left the cabin and went on deck. I looked about me, then went 
on deck, and made remarks with two different officers. They seemed 
to think they had conquered a fleet of men-of-war instead of one poor 
innocent merchant ship. It seemed to me like an eagle swooping down 
on a humming-bird. My boat was searched, and a quadrant belonging 
to the mate and other articles were passed up on the deck of this bold 
cruiser. I asked him if we could go now, as it was not safe towing along- 
side his craft. He said, "You have no water in your boat." I said, 
"Only that which leaked in." — "Well," he said, "you hang on me, and 
I'U tow you toward your ship and you can get some." She was then 
one mass of flames. I looked at him and said, "I never sent a man 
where I would not go myself, and that is no place for me." He then 
said, "You can clear out! You are the most impertinent man I have 
dealt with!" We cut his line, and dropped away from him. There 
we were, five in the boat ; — and it did seem to me as though I never 
was so far from home and friends. 



NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 217 

We landed on the Island of Penang, on the afternoon of December 
31st. I gave the mates each one-third of the money I managed to save, 
about $100. Then it was each for himself. The Consul provided for 
the two sailors. The first mate got down to Singapore, and home from 
there in a Boston bark, Pearl. Second mate went up to Rangoon in a 
British ship; left her, and became a pilot; died there some three years 
afterward, aged twenty-four, and weighed three hundred and fifteen 
pounds, "the biggest man in Burmah." Consuls have no authority to 
assist captains; they do not come under the head of seamen. I pro- 
ceeded in steamer Chabuda, British, to Maulmain, then Rangoon, and 
thence to Calcutta, where I felt at home. The first white man I met 
was my brother; we had not met for seven years. I left Calcutta on 
the 22d day of January, 1864, by way of Madras, Point de Galle, Suez, 
across to Alexandria; at Cairo called out and inspected the Pjrramids; 
Malta, Gibraltar, and Southampton; only three hours at Southampton; 
then in the North German steamship Cimhria to New York; arrived in 
Newburyport on the afternoon of March 17th, 1864, having experienced 
a beautiful voyage, and met with some peculiar peoples. 



REPRESENTATIVE RECRUITS. 

Governor Andrew promulgated, July 1st, 1864, Circular No. 
25, from the Provost-Marshal-General's office in relation to 
representative recruits, furnished by persons not fit for military 
duty, and not liable to draft, from age or other causes. Such 
a personal representative was quite different from the substi- 
tute furnished by the drafted man or one liable to military 
duty, and were furnished by patriotic citizens who were not 
themselves liable to military service : — Such a representative 
was furnished by Capt. Robert Couch, a ship master of this 
city.

FORT AT SALISBURY POINT. 

The fort at the mouth of the Merrimack River on Sahs- 
bury Point was commenced in 1863, and completed the fol- 
lowing year. It was locally designated Fort Nichols, in honor 
of Capt. William Nichols of this city, who commanded the 
privateer Decatur in the War of 1812. This name, however, 
was not recognized by the War Department. 

The location of the fort was 700 feet from Badger's Rocks 
to embrasm-e No. 7, and 850 feet from embrasure No. 3 to 
what was at that time high-water mark on the ocean face. 
The range of gun No. 9 was a little west of north. Neither 
the scale of the fort nor that of the sections will apply to this 
cut, as the original sketch was considerably reduced to con- 
form to the size of the book. 

The greatest external diameter was from the angle of No. 
1 gun to that of No. 7, which was 350 feet. The interior of 
the bombproof quarters was 90 feet by 12. 

The accompanying cut shows in plan and sections the 
completed fort, giving the positions of the guns, the maga- 
zines, and the bombproof quarters. It was originally intended 
to mount one 12-pounder siege gun and 9 rifled 32-pounders 
in the fort; but the armament on June 30th, 1866, and June 
30th, 1867, was: one 12-pounder smooth-bore siege gun on a 
wooden carriage, mounted in barbette on the northeast face; 
three 8 in. smooth-bore guns, on iron casemate carriages, 
mounted at embrasures Nos. 1, 2, and 3; three 42-poimder

SKETCH OF THE COMPANIES RECRUITED IN NEWBURY- 
PORT FOR THREE YEARS' SERVICE. 

FORTIETH REGIMENT NEW YORK INFANTRY 
(MOZART regiment). 

This regiment, to which four companies from Massa- 
chusetts — one each from Newburyport, Cambridge, Milford, 
and Lawrence — were attached, was organized at Yonkers, 
N.Y., June 27th, 1861, to serve for three years. Company B 
was organized in this city, and known as the National Guards. 
The regiment left New York July 4th, and was assigned to 
Gen. Phil Kearney's Brigade, which subsequently became a 
part of the Third Army Corps. It took part in the Peninsular 
campaign under General McClellan, and remained in the 
Army of the Potomac during its term of service. It sustained 
an unusual loss in battle, and in its number of killed stands 
next to the head in the hst of New York infantry regiments. 
Its aggregate membership was large, owing to transfers from 
other regiments. The casualties in the regiment were: killed 
and mortally wounded, 238; died of disease, accidents, etc., 
127; died in Confederate prisons, 45; total, 410. 

The original members of the regiment were mustered out 
in July, 1864. 

The official list of battles in which the regiment bore an 
honorable part is as follows : — 

Yorktown, Va., Williamsburg, Va., Fair Oaks, Va., Glen- 
dale, Va., Malvern Hill, Va., Second Bull Run, Va., Chan- 
tilly, Va., Fredericksburg, Va., Chancellorsville, Va., Gettys-

SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY. 

This regiment was recruited at Camp Schonler, Lynnfield, 
during the summer of 1861, and with the exception of two 
companies was recruited in Essex County. Company A, 
known at the time of recruiting as the "City Greys," was 
from Newburyport. The regiment left the State August 23d 
for Baltimore, Md., forming part of the forces under General 
Dix. In the spring of 1862 it was transferred to New Berne, 
N.C., and remained in that department until the close of the 
war. It was mustered out of service July 11th, 1865. Total 
membership of regiment during its term of service: officers, 
88; enlisted men, 1,658; aggregate, 1,746. The casualties

THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT MASSACHUSETTS INFANTRY. 

The Thirty-fifth Regiment was organized at Lynnfield, and 
left the State Aug. 22d, 1862. Company B was recruited by 
Capt. Albert W. Bartlett, and left the State as color com- 
pany. After a short stay at Arlington Heights, it was assigned 
to the second brigade, second division. Ninth Army Corps, 
commanded by Gen. A. E. Burnside. It participated in the 
Maryland campaign under General McClellan, and after the 
battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 it went to Newport News, 
Va. From there it was sent to join General Burnside in the 
department of Ohio, and assigned to duty in the interior of 
Kentucky. In June, 1863, it joined General Grant's forces at 
Vicksburg, Miss., when after its surrender, July 4th, 1863, it 
followed General Johnston from the Big Black River to Jack- 
son, investing the city. Returning to Kentucky August 14th it 
moved with the Corps to Knoxville, Tenn., and was in the city 
during the siege by General Longstreet's forces. In April, 1864, 



222 NEWBUEYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 

the regiment returned with the Corps to the Army of the 
Potomac, taking part in the advance from the Wilderness to 
Petersburg under General Grant. During the siege it took an 
active part at the crater July 30th. After the surrender of 
General Lee at Appomattox, the regiment was sent to Alex- 
andria, Va., where it remained until the grand review at 
Washington, May 23d, 1865. On June 9th the regiment was 
mustered out of service, and arrived in Boston June 13th. 
The following is a list of the engagements in which the regi- 
ment participated : — 

South Mountain, Md., Antietam, Md., Fredericksburg, Ya., 
Vicksburg, Miss., Jackson, Miss., Campbell's Station, Tenn., 
Siege of Knoxville, Tenn., Spottsylvania, Va., North Anna 
River, Va., Cold Harbor, Va., Bethesda Church, Va., Siege of 
Petersburg, Va., Petersburg Mine, Va., Weldon Railroad, Va., 
Poplar Spring Church, Va., Jones House, Petersburg, Va., 
Fort Sedgwick, Va. Present at White Sulphur Springs, Va., 
Wilderness, Va., Hatcher's Run, Va., and Fort Mahone, Va. 

The total membership of the regiment during its term of 
service was 1,526 officers and enlisted men; 148 of the number 
were killed in action or died of wounds; 68 died of disease, 
etc., and 33 died in Confederate prisons. The total killed 
and wounded in the regiment was 539 men. 

Casualties in Company B (Newburyport Company). 

Original membership of company: officers and enlisted 
men, 99; killed or died of wounds, 11; died of disease, etc., 4; 
discharged for wounds, 15; transferred to V. R. Corps, 9; 
discharged for disability, 32; transferred to Regular Army, 1; 
resigned commissions, 2; deserted, 4; leaving 21 members who 
were discharged at the end of the war. 

In addition to the 138 men in the regiment credited to 
Newburyport, the city furnished eleven more men who were, 
with three exceptions, counted on the quota of Newburyport, 
making the aggregate of 149 officers and men belonging to 
this city who served in the regiment. From this mrniber, 15 
were killed in action or died of wounds, 7 died of disease, 
etc., and 36 were wounded in action; 33 served until the end 
of the war. 



NEWBURYPORT IN THE CIVIL WAR, 1865. 223 

NUMBER OF MEN FURNISHED BY NEWBURYPORT. 

The number of men called for from Newburyport during the 
war was twelve hundred and ninety-three (1,293). Those who 
so promptly responded to the first call of the President in 
April, 1861, and were mustered into the United States service 
for three months, and those who served for ninety and one 
hundred days, were not counted on the quota of the city, 
f The city sent to the field, not including those in the 40th New 
York Infantry (Mozart), thirteen hundred and sixty-three (1,363) 
men, which according to credits allowed by the Department was 
seventy (70) men more than she was required to furnish. 

To ascertain more correctly the number of men which the 
city actually furnished during the war, and for whom she 
should have received credit, there should be added to the 
1,363 men credited to her, the 101 men in Company B, 40th 
New York Infantry (Mozart), whose credits were transferred 
by the War Department from New York to Massachusetts in 
1863; also the 35 men enlisted after the city's quota for 1862 
had been filled, and who by a ruling of the Provost-Marshal- 
General were not allowed to count on the next quota, and the 
12 recruits sent to camp under the call for October 17th, 
1863, in excess of the contingent called for and for whom no 
credits were given. We find the aggregate number of men fur- 
nished by the city to have been 1,511, which was an excess of 
218 men over all demands made upon the city during the war. 



AMOUNT EXPENDED BY NEWBURYPORT. 

From the History of Massachusetts in the Civil War by 
Adjutant-General Schouler, we find that the amount of money 
appropriated and expended by the city on account of the war, 
exclusive of State Aid, was $123,817.89. In addition to this, 
$6,300.00 were voluntarily contributed by private citizens. 

The amount of money raised and expended by the city in 
the payment of State Aid to the families of volunteers during 
the four years of the war, and afterwards reimbursed by the 
Commonwealth, was as follows: In 1861, $6,322.45; in 1862, 
$25,000.00; in 1863, $35,988.25; in 1864, $27,000.00; in 1865, 
$16,000.00 ; total amount, $110,310.70.

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS. 

From the departure of the first company from Newburyport 
in April, 1861, to the disbanding of the army in 1865, the Daily 
Herald printed communications from the various locations in 
both the Army and Navy in which the soldiers and sailors from 
Newburyport were situated. The earliest of these letters were 
from " Essex," who was with the 8th Mass. Infantry from Mas- 
sachusetts to Washington, and later in the Department of the 
Gulf. Letters signed "A," who was a member of Company 

A, 17th Mass. Infantry, were continuous from early in 1861 
until 1864. Communications signed " J. D. P." and " E. L. D." 
were from graduates of the Herald office who served with the 
23d Mass. Infantry in North Carolina. 

The following will show who the regular or occasional corre- 
spondents to the Herald were during the war period : —

ARMY NURSES. 

The only representative of this class of noble, patriotic, and 
self-sacrificing women from our city during the war, was Mrs. 
Sarah E. Smith, daughter of Jeremiah and Abigail Downs, 
who devoted several months of faithful and earnest work 
in caring for the sick and wounded soldiers in the army 
hospitals. 

Mrs. Smith was born in 1831; died January 2d, 1873, buried 
on New Hill. 

VETERAN RESERVE CORPS. 

The organization of the Invalid or Veteran Reserve Corps 
was begun in April, 1863, by which it was proposed to retain 
the services for garrison, hospital and provost duty, of that 
class of deserving officers and men, who from wounds received 
in action or disease contracted in the service, were unfit for 
further duty in the field, and who would otherwise be dis- 
charged, but were still able to perform fight duty ; also to 
bring back for like purposes, those who had previously been 
discharged as unfit for active service, and not liable to draft. 

The Corps numbered June 1st, 1865, 762 commissioned 
officers, and 29,852 enlisted men, many of whom remained in 
the service long after the close of the war.

THE WAR WITH SPAIN. 
1898-99. 



The blowing-up of the battleship Maine, with the loss of 
266 American sailors, in the harbor of Havana, Feb. 15th, 
1898; the ultimatum of President McKinley to the Spanish 
government, in which he demanded the evacuation of Cuba 
by the Spanish forces, with their refusal to do so, — resulted 
in the declaration of war against Spain by the Congress of the 
United States, April 21st, 1898. This action was immediately 
followed with a call by President McKinley, dated April 23d^ 
for 125,000 volunteers for the army. Massachusetts was re- 
quested to furnish four regiments of infantry and three heavy 
batteries to serve for the period of two years, unless sooner 
discharged. 

In General Order dated April 28th, His Excellency Gov- 
ernor Wolcott designated the Eighth Regiment of Infantry^ 
M. V. M., as one of the four regiments privileged to volunteer 
under the President's call. That the response was prompt 
is evinced by the fact that on May 5th the entire regiment 
reported at the State camp-ground at South Framingham, 
and on the 11th was mustered into the United States service 
for the period designated. On the 16th of May the regiment 
left the State for Ohickamauga Park, Ga., where they remained 
until August 23d; from which date until November 10th it 
was at Lexington, Ky., when it changed to Americus, Ga., 
where it camped until January 10th, 1899, when it embarked 
on the transport Michigan at Savannah, Ga., for Matanzas, 
Cuba, arriving on the 13th. The regiment continued in Cuba 
until April 3d, when it left for Boston, where it was mustered 
out of the United States service, April 28th, 1899. 

Company A, of the 8th Reg. Mass. Vols., the Gushing 
Guards of this city, was mustered into the United States ser- 
vice with three officers and seventy-four men, May 11th, 1898. 



502 SUPPLEMENTARY RECORDS, GUSHING GUARDS. 

Under the call of the President of May 25th, the regiment 
was recruited to the army standard of 106 men to a company. 
Company A received 35 recruits, making its aggregate mem- 
bership while in the service 112 officers and men. Of this 
number, 1 died of disease, 3 were discharged for disability, 
1 dropped as a minor, 5 transferred, 1 dishonorably discharged, 
and 2 deserted. 

The Gushing Guards was one of the oldest military organ- 
izations in the State, having been organized in 1778 as the 
Newburyport Artillery Company. During the War of the 
Revolution it was sent to Newport, R.I., to re-enforce General 
Sullivan. It was one of the first companies to respond to 
the call of Governor Andrew in 1861, and was three times 
mustered into the United States service during the rebellion. 
Its early and continued service to the State, with its honor- 
able and patriotic record, ought to have preserved its or- 
ganization, and continued it as a part of the State Militia. 
It was disbanded by General Order No. 11, Adjutant-Gener- 
al's Office, March 12th, 1902.

Index of Names 



INDEX OF NAMES. 



In compiling this index the author was confronted with the fact that the 
records of the city and state, as well as the army muster rolls revealed 
many discrepancies in names. In addition to this was the spelling of names 
differently by members of the same family and by the same individual. 

It has been the occasion of much careful research, and finally the 
author decided to make the Individual Records and Index give all names 
the correct spelling, ascertained up to the time of publishing, and to 
these the reader is respectfully referred when desiring to find the name 
of any relative or friend recorded in the book.
